Everyone is pressuring me to buy but I just don't feel ready. I have NO savings so if I lost my job or something else happened I'd have to rely on my parents. I just don't want to do that. ![]() Sure I'd rather pay a mortgage than rent but not if it means I'm putting myself in a worse situation financially. I've entertained the idea of asking my parents if they wanted to split a house with me, but I just don't know how they'd take to that idea. ![]() |

Sounds fairly normal to me. The two most stressful 'normal' activities that you can do in life are change/lose you job and move.

Well after weighing all the options I decided to decline this apartment.
The anxiety I was feeling wasn't merely because I was afraid of moving forward (so not an issue for me) but because something just didn't feel right. I am confident that something will feel right soon in the housing department. My original plan was a move-in date of June 1st. I'm going to stick to the plan! |

I wouldn't purchase a house till you have 10-20% of a down-payment. That is why the market in the US is so bad now (low rate interest loans too). People put nothing down then when the housing market fell, they owe more than the house is worth. I think it is worth it to wait till you have some savings to put down. And remember, home ownership is more expensive than what you put down on paper. When something breaks, its on you...and stuff always breaks.
