Apartment shopping, decorating, throwing a house-warming party...these are the fun things that come to mind when I think "real estate." Unfortunately, it's also essential to do some tedious number crunching in order to figure out if one can afford such fun. Luckily, there is a whole slew of pre-programmed calculators on Yahoo Finance that do all the work for you. Three cheers to the math nerd who programmed these:
