Homebuying by Dummies

Why does investing feel so bad, when it should be so good? My wife and I took the plunge on Monday and closed on our first house. Hopefully this will primarily bring our renting to an end. The house is actually exactly what we need for now. It is big enough for our things with a little extra space, a small yard with minimal need for mowing, and it is less than five miles from work. It is still nerve racking to be in debt for that amount. We know that there is a 99% chance that we'll live there for five years then move, even if we decide to stay in Columbia, SC; which at this point is very unlikely. We're excited to be moving this coming weekend, but it will be a pain in the butt, nonetheless.

Gotta run it is almost dinnertime followed by meditation before "The Wives."
