<prompt> Human: Hey everyone,I just put an offer in to purchase a home at 147k, FHA loan. After the down payment and closing costs Ill have about 3k as a cushion.I currently make a little more than 1700 a month. What Im looking for are ways to save on food, utilities and the like as well as make a little more on the side.I know its going to be hard, I accept that, I would just appreciate any advice you guys could give me.Thanks,LazMcSpaz  <response>: Your making around 35k a year.. And you just put in a bid for 147,000..Google the concept of being house poor. This is what you are running into.
