Down the drain

Internets, I'm feeling totes poor. I just drained my bank account and sent all my cash-money over to the escrow account for my new home! So, I guess the title of this post is a misnomer since it's not technically going down the drain, and I really should see this as an investment, but it's difficult when I now worry about meeting the minimum balance on my bank account!

Someone, please tell me that home ownership is all it's cracked up to be...
