BIG QUESTION: I want to buy a house, your advice?
>>???<< asked:
I really want to buy a house within the next year. Could you please give me your advice on home-buying?
I’m especially wondering about my budget … how much my monthly house-related expenses are likely to be… water, electric, garbage pick-up, etc. Any hidden municipal/city/county taxes I should watch out for?
Also, how much reserve (rainy day) funds should I have set aside before I buy?
Any advice would be appreciated!! Thanks!!!!!

I have spread poison around my house and put little poison traps where they are suspected of coming in. they are getting worse and worse. no matter what i do, i can’t get rid of them. i have pets that are sensitive to strong poisonings. i was not to happy when i put poison outside, but i was desperate. i am on a strict budget and i’m trying to save money, but my only option now is terminiex. can someone please give me some good ideas. serious answers only please.
i own 2 tarantulas and seven rats. two of the rats are old men and feeling their age. i don’t want something to kill any of my animals. my tarantulas would be more susceptible to the poison. if i do get a professional, my tarantulas would have to live somewhere else for a while. i live in a rural area and they are pretty bad. right now i am using clorox bleach on my counters. it does help a bit, but not enough. they are to the point of overwhelming us. we found some in our bed. it’s just a matter of time…..

Budgeting- How much should I expect to pay for water, electric, and gas?
Cup o’ Tea asked:
Per month, for a metro-city, 1200 square foot condo with just me living in it? I know it varies, but just a guesstimation/average would really help me out!

It would probably help to add that it has 1 gas fireplace, which would only be used sparingly.
