Checking houses

I had some time at work this morning and was reading random news articles. I came across this one about buying houses. I thought, "Oh I wonder if the prices in my area are any cheaper?"

I went to Movoto.com and typed in the cities I was interested in and found a few that I thought were cheap. I looked at their maps and locations, checked out the specs and photos, and fantasized about owning a house. I saw one that was a 3 bedroom house and cost only $300,000! There was only one picture of it posted, a front view of the house, but I made up everything else in my head. 

I started to imagine how nice it would be to live there. How convenient it would be to commute from that house to my new job. 

Then it hit me. I don't have a new, or better paying job. I don't have any savings. And I don't have this and that and that and THAT.

I closed that browser window and went back to work.
