Thinking about buying a house? Watch out for those sneaky escrow payments! More of your monthly mortgage is now going to cover rising property taxes and insurance, especially if you live somewhere prone to wild weather. In places like Florida and Colorado, these costs have jumped over 50%! That means less money for your coffee runs and streaming subscriptions. If you’re budgeting for a new home, pad your numbers—those “fixed” payments aren’t so fixed anymore. #RealEstate #Homeownership #MoneyHacks
