<p>I watched an episode of HGTV while I was on the treadmill this afternoon. The couple had to have what they had to have. They wound up buying a house for $300,000, for which they were putting down a whopping $15,000. At the end of the show, they announced what their mortgage payment will be – something in the $1600 per month range. But these shows never discuss what the taxes are, and as we all know, they can be pretty steep. And then there’s maintenance . . . .</p>
