If you can live at home and save the rent money, then you've got a head start in life. Paying rent is just pissing money down the drain, and alot of those apartment buildings in the T-dot look like crap, let alone no parking. Better to save up and then start paying out when you get a mortgage. This way you are actually saving and building up equity in the home. Now if you think about it, how many years would it take for the average joe to pay off a $300,000 home? Its got to be more than 25yrs, unless you make really good coin, and lets not forget the high property taxes as well. What about the furniture, you need good furniture when you buy a home, otherwise it would just look like crap
. It all takes money, money, money. Perhaps you would want to work 2 full-time jobs.
