I currently own a house and I have some additional $100,000 in savings. The Saving is currently just lying in the bank and giving me regular 3-4% interest on the savings account.
I'm thinking of buying a bigger house so that I can invest money I have and get better returns out of it in appreciation. Everyone is saying that the real Estate market will start getting better now. I'm thinkin at l;east for next 5 years I'll be living in that house. The new house I'm thinking of getting is costing a $100,000 more than what I had planned for. I worked through my finances and I'll still have $800-$900 in monthly savings after all my monthly expenses are done. I'm still getting very nervous about making this commitment because of the current Real Estate situation. I'm laso thinking I have 2 kids 1 year and 4 years old. Will I be putting myself in a bad situation by leving just $800 as my savings. If any unexpected expnses arise, I'll be very stressed out regarding money.
