Since Blogger decided to be AWESOME yesterday and delete my *entire* post, it's mini blog time!
I realized today that I lost my instruction manual. Actually, I'm not sure I ever found it in the first place. Which instruction manual am I talking about? Why, the one for life, of course!
You see, I'm trying to figure out when it's the right time to buy my first house. I feel like I'm ready but at the same time, I'm definitely not ready. As far as advantages go, it would be great to be completely independent and not have to ask a (dick of a) landlord permission for everything I do in regards to where I live, the mortgage would most likely be lower than my current rent, I'd be more likely to find exactly what we're looking for, and I could get another dog. :) On the downside, I'd most likely require a co-signer thanks to student loans, owing that much money is SCARY AS HELL, and I'd be stuck with a house instead of bound by a leasing contract. So, when I'm unsure about most things, I just go back and reference an instruction manual to figure it out. So why the heck doesn't life have a "how to" section? There would definitely be a section on "the right time to..." that could help me figure out this problem.
Instead of continuing my search for the manual, I'll just take a poll. Is 24 too soon to buy your first house?
