We closed on our new house yesterday, but can't move in till next week. Everything went smoothly but now we're both so freaked out because our bank accounts have never been so empty before!!!!
For those of you who own your homes, how did you get through the 'empty' account? We're really going to have to budget now, and neither of us is any good at it. I'm hoping with time we can build our savings again but we never had so much go out at once!

I know what you mean. FI was so used to have a nice chunk of money in the market...but thank GOD he took most of the money out of the market to buy our home when he did...he would've lost it if he didn't with the way everything went.

Don't worry. You'll get back on track...and this was a very wise investment!!!

You never get used to that empty account feeling, you just know it is part of being home owner.

Awww, guys thanks so much!! It's nice to have some people to share this with. We're so excited about moving day! Luckily, DH was able to get a lot of guys to help out so it should go quickly and smoothly. I'll post pics when we're in and the computer is hooked up again.
