judecorpThis whole house-buying thing is really getting to me. It seems like every day I find out about some new hitch or worse, some new expense. $500 here and $1000 there doesn't seem like so much when you're talking about the expense of a house, but when I am dropping pretty much a major majority of the money I own on housing us, the little bits add up and I start having to configure in my head: Do I buy title insurance or a washing machine? Can I afford X or do I need a sofa? I just want to cry all the time.
Thankfully the closing is on Monday and one way or another it will be over. But I am NOT thrilled with the process. I don't like that the lawyer e-mails Jen without CCing me. And I don't like that we're supposed to make a decision about title insurance and yet no one has mentioned such a thing before. And I don't like that I am paying HUGE sums of money and yet it is not enough, there is more money to be paid and then there needs to be some furniture and a washer/dryer and the furnace repair and wallpaper removed and the dishwasher installed and the homeowners insurance pre-paid for a year (that was the other day's surprise) and on and on and on.
It's far too much for me.

also, there's a bob's warehouse (where you can buy floor models, discontinued stuff, etc) in springfield!
