Oh, not at all life savings. In fact it was nothing down, got it from a guy that wants out, and was willing to do it with taking over the payments. Not really about how much money I spent, just about going from being 22 getting $15/hour living in a budget apartment to being a little less ashamed of where I was living, that kind of thing. Also, got some roommates so all in all I'm only paying about $600/month.
Also, the housing economy in Vegas is in the shitter. The house right now appraises for $650k and when it was built was probably $250-300k. My girl's parents have a 5 bedroom house that's 3500 square feet that they've refused offers for for $1.5 million.
