Today, I was house-hunting online. I was becoming increasingly discouraged and began to look for mini-houses in absurd desperation. I noticed the Google sidebar advertising a cute mini house within my budget. Excited, I clicked on the ad - only to discover it was an ad for a child's playhouse. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I bought a home at a bargain. It will need 5 grand in repairs to fix plumbing and electric, but it's mine. When I pulled up the listing to show pictures to my friends, there was a new listing that was in the same neighborhood, and a larger, nicer house that is move in ready. Same price. FML

Wrong size

Today, when I finally got delivered the new kitchen table that I ordered online a week ago, I found out that it was actually a kitchen table for a dollhouse, as I forgot to check the size. FML

Today, after months of apartment hunting with my boyfriend, he told me he had found a fantastic place that was really inexpensive. It seemed way too good to be true. It was. He took me to a storage unit. FML

Today, I put up an ad on Craig's List to find a best friend. I don't know what's more pathetic: looking for a best friend online, or the ad being removed almost instantly. FML

Won't somebody think of the landlords?!

Today, I looked for an affordable home. I'm on SSI but only on a bare minimum (less than $950 a month), but I'm by myself so I thought it wouldn't be a big deal. All the homes in my area are over $1k. When I tried to look for one with less beds and baths, they demanded I make an account before I could search further. FML

Today, as a part of my job, I took a couple around to look at houses that are on sale. After driving them around and looking at tons of houses, the wife said, "Okay. I think we have enough decorating ideas." FML

Today, a realtor came to take a look at my house. I had worked all morning to make it look lovely. When they took pictures, I explained a number of ways I could change things so everything would look as good as possible. After the house tour, they told me it should be bulldozed. FML

Today, my fiancé and I toured our dream home. I was so excited about it that I posted all kinds of pictures of it on Facebook. My boss's daughter just called and said she loved my pictures so much she made an offer on the house. We were 1 week away from making an offer. FML

You would be better off renting until you can afford a house you want. You will be miserable in a house you have to settle for and if the house is at you max budget then you will be stuck for several years unless you take a loss on the house.

You may need to move a bit further away and commute to your job or school. I know that's a pain, but usually being a bit further away from a city decreases the cost. Also, if it's stressing your budget too much, you may want to wait a bit. Maybe even look into foreclosure listings? Just be sure to have a home inspection done before buying a foreclosure. Happy house hunting!! I'm sure you will find something you love in your budget!

Look at RVS! I just bought a 30 ft 5th wheel (completely separate bedroom)for 7k. I'm selling my 3 bdrm house and moving into it to get debt free!

Either your budget is unrealistically low, or that child's house is ridiculously expensive.

That's why I bought my house in the ghetto. It was the same price as my rent per month and I'm building equity. Your first house is called a starter house for a reason. Good luck in your house hunt, don't give up! I looked at several dozen before I found one that meth my needs.

First time reading this FML, I though you typed "mini horses." I was so confused as to why you switched from houses, to mini ponies, to a child's playhouse. I really need some sleep.
