Jesus fucking Christ, i'm 23 and this thread is confusing the fuck out of me.
My current thinking:
1/ Not expecting to get married anytime soon
2/ Stick with my job because I love it, but keep looking for extra income streams
3/ Still weighing the benefits between renting/buying/stay at home. I'm living with my folks now and it's letting me save a lot of money. However i've come to realise that 50%+ of game is logistics, so i really want to move out. The question is if i want to rent, or save up for a large deposit, buy a nice studio and pay off the mortgage.
4/ Flowing from point #3, need to decide how to save enough money for travel.
I don't think of buying as anything but removing options from my life. I own now and its a major constraint on the way I live.
I don't think of renting as "wasting" money, I think of it as buying the freedom to move anytime you damn well please. Not to mention you don't have to deak with home owners insurance, property taxes, maintenance, HOA fees, etc.
all tax deductible if u r renting it out
