Who really knows the cost of buying a home?

Our brains are amazing creatures.  I'm surprised often at how much I think I know and then how much I don't know... while I'm busy thinking I'm "in the know".

Take the experience of buying a house.  I thought you bought a house and picked up the keys.  Turns out you have to pay quite a few people, including your new city council and state government, quite a packet of money... besides the big bag of money for the property.  Better be putting aside a few thousand for the hangers on.

My dad used to say "nothing like a few human beings to stuff up a good idea".
