<prompt> Human: I work 80k and she is a Mom 4 kids. We would sell our current house 325k we owe 200k in it for 10 years. One car 35k we would pay off. Looking for house 550k-600k. Trying to be recession proof by owning home. Thoughts???  <response>: You have to factor in property taxes, repairs, maintenance, furnishing if needed, and utilities.Bigger houses come with bigger bills unless it is much newer and efficient.This plan does not seem to lower anything and only gives bigger bills and a bigger or nicer house. Id go lower if i were you.
