<prompt> Human: Among all my other personalfinance mistakes, I think this avoidance of one was worth celebrating. Dont go house poor people. I had a really shitty realtor who didnt understand my needs at all. I felt very pressured into buying a home that was roughly 33 over my maximum. Papers drawn up, ready to sign and I woke up to the reality I would soon be in should I keep going.Instead, got rid of my realtor, did some research, and I plan on signing up for some new home buyer classes that my city offers. Stay strong people and remember that theres a reason its called personal finance. If you screw it up, its a personal problem!  <response>: Good on you for walking away, I hate high pressure sales people.
