'unlearn'

when you buy a house, you will write a lot of checks. there will be a realtor, a lender, a closing company. there will be insurance - mortgage, home, hazard, title. there will be warranties. there will be home inspections and appraisals - which are not the same thing. there will be pest inspection, flood insurance reserves, school taxes. there will ve loan origination fees, broker fees, tax-related service fees, processing fees, attorney fees - there will be fees for everything.

you will be expected to learn and understand and grasp and balance all this while working, packing, moving, sleeping, cooking your dinner, making your bed, driving to work, going to weddings, listening to your friends, living your life.

a house-warming party will definitely be in order.
