TOTALLY WRONG Thinking.
I just cranked a few figures from younger years in the loan
calcualtor and for a $95,000 Home Laoan with a $700 per month payment
one would have only saved $93780 in Interest. THAT IS FAR from Rich.
AND after the $700 stops that part of what you called "cost of living"
drops dramaticly as only a much smaller amount of property taxes remains

For those that can swing the payments NOT buying a house is Terminally
STUPID

I canot express how great it feels to only be paying the property Taxes
to put a roof over my head.
