Would a house having a septic tank and well water turn you away from buying?

When I was a kid we had a house with a septic tank and well water...but as you all know that was eons ago 
I have heard of some horror stories of having to replace the septic tank and it being pretty expensive to do.
I did Google _ for all of you who may have been ready to post the lmgtfy link... and read how you are supposed to take care of them and not add any strain on the tank by not putting coffee grounds down the disposal, no grease from pans, no antibacterial soaps to be used..showers held to like 10 minutes etc.
Sounds like a PITA actually and although I found a nice house that I like.. I am thinking of skipping any with septic and well...
Any personal insights here in the knowledge well we call the lounge?

I keep trying to tell myself that the right one will work out like it's supposed to.
And I lost out on a few back in Vegas before I found the perfect one..I'm just tired of it all.
It's been a long few months in the whole process.
