Changed my mind about keeping the house after the split. My lawyer said the mortgage would eat up 65% of my take-home pay.

That "ramen phase" line really hits home.

That's a smart move, even if it hurts right now. Tried to hang onto my first place after my divorce and nearly went broke. The bank doesn't care if you're eating ramen every night. Sometimes walking away is the only play that makes sense.

But @ryant50, sometimes the ramen phase is worth it to keep your home.
