buying a house

Wow, what a lot of crap to go through for a home of your own. Seriously. I had no idea what went into this. The hundreds of signatures and initials required is mind boggling. Time lines, deadlines, inspections, fees, blah, blah, blah. And after is all said and done, we'll be broke. Again. I enjoy renting. I like the fact that it's my house, but someone else is ultimately responsible for it. Does that make me afraid of commitment? Oh well.
