first thing I would do is sit with with your wife and tell her what you told us. go through the numbers and tell you you’re worried that she’s not that into the house, and she really needs to say something now so you don’t enter into an obligation she’ll later resent.
something else to keep in mind: not only is your payment $200 less than what you’re paying in rent now, the majority of that payment will be tax deductible for many years to come. So that’ll give you a new ~$14k annual deduction the first few years, gradually decreasing as you move further down the amortization curve. Yeah, you’ll have property taxes (also deductible) and insurance, but still, you’re coming out way ahead.
also: your rent may be $1700 now, but it’s not likely to stay there forever. Your payment, however, will.
Good luck and best wishes with whatever you decide.

ParticipantI think I’m missing something. It was my understanding that you could not collect unemployment for a job you left voluntarily. You had to be terminated, and not for cause.
At least that was the case the one and only time I collected unemployment, which was for about 6 weeks in about 1994. My recollection is that it paid $980/month and every week you had to send in a little affidavit saying you were looking for work.

ParticipantBoric acid powder works wonders for roaches. Non-toxic to mammals, but highly toxic to insects. You can get it at Home Despot.
