Hi,
I am a longtime lurker to this board. I wanted to offer my congratulations and let you know that you will be fine. When I bought my townhouse about a year and half ago, I had the same fears as you. I also had the same amound of credit card debt, too. I felt guilty, because I thought I should wait until I got out of debt to buy. My mom convinced me otherwise. She said the prices and interest rates are only going up and your neighborhood is only getting worse. I took the plunge and have never regretted it. Of course I have more expenses (the gas bill this winter was a killer), but my quality of life cannot be equaled. I love coming home. I love the peace and the contentment I feel. I love the quiet and being able to sleep at night (no loud, rude, obnoxious neighbors)!!! By the end of the year I should be out of credit card debt and be close to paying off my card. Home ownership is so worth any sacrifice you need to make!!!
