WE bought our house about 6 months ago. It pretty much cleaned us out. We had a little money left over that went to putting in a new bathroom and buying furniture.

If anything comes up that needs to be fixed etc it's a real stretch to cover it.

A few grand.

And after an employment reduction soon after buying, we ended up missing payments within a year and a half and foreclosing within 3 years.

Make sure you have excellent padding in your savings before buying.
