Man, what is with the people around here? I won't be dreaming of anything but renting for years and other people my age are owning property. Gah.

owning a house is a big step, i agree. But i suppose if you have a stable job paying well, you can get a house and live in it comfortably. I'm on my way with my credit score by renting, but I doubt I'll be owning for a couple more years

Nice. So is that a cape cod, or a ranch?

You have the wife, now the house. All you need is the dog, 2.5 kids and you have the American dream. Then you can save up for the inevitable midlife crisis car.

Congrats, welcome to the world of homeownership. You now have mortgage payments, property taxes, leaky roofs, pest infestations, etc., etc .....

No really, it is the best thing you can do to own a home and upgrade as the years go by. It has always proven to be a solid investment if you view it in the long term.
