Since I moved back from England I've been staying at my parents until I was more secure in a job and could afford to move out.
I've been toying with the idea of buying a small house but I don't feel ready financially (I've really been taking steps to get that side of things in order). I've seen some absolute DUMPY apartments and figured the search would take quite a while. Quite surprisingly I found a place and they have offered it to me. I accepted. So why am I so nervous/anxious/feel as if I want to wait? ![]() I'm really bummed I can't buy a house right now. Well...I guess I could but it would put me in a situation financially that I don't want to be in (house poor). I don't want to be stretched too far and would like to live quite comfortably. I just can't shake this feeling even though I loved the apartment. ![]() |

some advice I've been given before was don't do anything you are unsure about.

Maybe you're just in a groove and need a little bump to move forward. I think once you get into the new lace you'll find your new groove and the anxiety will pass quickly.

Move to America and buy about $100,000 over your head and stop making payments.
I use to move pool tables into homes all day long. I've seen some house poor people and you don't want to be them.

I nearly walked out at the closing of my house I was that nervous. If your gut says do it and you can afford it go for it.
or just mooch off your parents for as long as you can

I'm not exactly mooching!
![]() My parents would like me to buy but I don't think they understand how hard it is on one income. I just know that I could afford to buy a house....but I would be left with absolutely NO savings at the end of the month. ![]() My company matches 9% of my 401K so I'm going to contribute my butt off and buy a house in a couple of years. I think I'm just nervous about being on my own. ![]() |

many times you get the nervous feeling just from moving on. It's hard to go from a "comfort" zone into unknown territory even though you know in your mind you'll make it and it's the right decision. Alot of time the heart would rather just stay with status quo, it's the easy decision.
no one succeeds without taking a risk or going into the unknown and if all else fails just post photos of you in the new "lace". Someone will offer up a place for you to stay. ![]() |

You won't be all alone Kell, you've got us!!!
![]() I'd say if it's a financially sound deal and you like the place, it probably is just a little case of nerves. You'll feel better once you do it I think. |

Smart move. After I moved in with my mom after my dad passed away and took over ALL the house payments/household bills... on only my income, it's been very difficult. Hopefully I can pay down the debt I incurred from moving out of the ex's house once I deploy.. but for now it's like I'm just treading water. ![]() ![]()
