    I couldn’t afford anything with 200 a month. I couldn’t imagine 750. That’s a damn mortgage for a small house.

          I’m not. I had that mortgage 20 years ago. Wish I still had it. I was financially 10 times better off than I am now. But it also came with a shitty wife. That’s way worse than a shitty house believe me.

            My main goal was to find something cheap enough to live on my own. Its an OK house in a crappy area.

            I lucked out but still had to spend a lot to fix it up or the bank wouldn’t bother with such a cheap loan.

      Yeah I couldn’t really either. I’d have been in dire financial straits if I’d been forced to pay $750 for very long. I’m a single income father of three.
