As a twenty-six year old single female, I was destined to move out of my parents house. I did the responsible thing and moved out on my own. Well no one told me that being a grown up meant paying all these bills. Just kidding, I'm responsible. I like to pay all my bills, tithe, and also pay myself on time and even early so I am responsible person. However, at the end of my first year, post college, I reviewed my finances and questioned myself... is that all I saved? This began my journey into searching for a more least expensive place. With my quest, I began with the aide of my mommy. She's one of my persons, I'm not one of those depend on moma girls to figure out my dilemma, however she is a good asset to have around. So while she and I were searching for a place to stay, I got plenty of suggestions to buy a house. And this has plagued me, fathomed my mind, and caused for debate. Back to my initial statement, I am a responsible, independent, female and I could swing a house payment if I really wanted to but...... NO. I feel as if this is a responsibility I am not ready for. I have been told I am wasting my money by renting something that does not belong to me true. But I feel as though, you should go through this phase in your life, to appreciate what a home means. It's not just a house, it is where you will be spending the next few years, with someone you love. Creating memories. And I don't want to package those memories up, in about a year. I want to store them in the attack or the front room closet so I can look at them from time to time. Is that weird? Oh and by someone special, I do mean my husband. I've seen the shacking up firsthand, and may have possibly experienced it indirectly in college but I don't think that counts because I didn't have to worry about the lights or the cable or internet. But I digress.
So what's my resolute?
I think purchasing a house, would be dumb at my age right now. I am single, and I have no offspring. Plus all the responsibilities that come along with a house, I would want someone who has made a commitment to me first before purchasing a home. Even with how the market is, I will just have to wait.
