With the exception of a mortgage payment I am in fine financial bliss, no debts.

With condo fees I pay $2K/month to own a condo. I could likey rent for $1K saving $12K/year but since I bought my place its value has appreciated by $100K - it was more but since has subsided. Now that doesnt really matter until I decide to sell but it lessens the pain a bit of 12K less per year in after tax income (not by alot mind you, but by some).

I have often thought about selling the place and just renting and then buying again once I get married - that is the only real financial stress I have.
