Buying a house with a 30-year mortgage

I regret buying a house with a 30-year mortgage, as it's extremely expensive and leaves little room for emergencies

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew the total cost of the mortgage, including interest, property taxes, and HOA fees"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't buy a house with a 30-year mortgage, as it's a recipe for financial disaster"
