The bank says you can afford it. The realtor knows you will fall in love with it.

Before you commit to a 30-year financial relationship, Erin reveals the expensive details hiding beneath that attractive exterior in this Naked Money Meeting.
One of our listeners is caught between two possibilities: having a child and regretting it, or not having one and regretting that instead.
