No house for us

Lately we've been trying to buy a house. Unfortunately even making almost $60,000 a year isn't enough to buy much in this area. It's so expensive to buy even a condo, let alone a house. We've looked at so many places and given it an honest try and just can't find anything that suits us. The few times we've found something that might do, someone's put an offer on it before we can even really think it over.

Maybe it's a good thing, if we were to buy something right now, our living expenses would double. Our mortgage payment would be about twice what we're paying right now for rent, and living costs would go up (heating, property taxes, etc). Buying a house sounds great, but when we have to give up everything we do and have, it doesn't quite seem worth it.

I guess we'll try again some other time.
