Getting the Most From Budgets Sexy

Of course, when I’m not working crazy hours, I do try to have some fun. :) I’m single, I’m 25, and I’ve been pondering the concept of purchasing my own home. The main reason is since I hate the fact that I’m basically throwing my hard earned money away paying a quarter of my monthly earnings for rent.

• Remember that i feel that I would much rather be putting that money into something I can OWN and build credit and of course, own my own home!.
• My question is this: According to my spending plan, I should have my college loans paid off in regarding 2.5 years.
• Do you think it would be wise to wait until I pay off my college loans, build up a markdowns account, and then order a place of my own?.

Tips That Make a Difference

Or… do you think it would be possible to order my own home and still pay the mortgage and college loans at the same time. As a rule, in April, I finally paid off two large credit cards that I had from college and now I am saving that money that I would be paying for a credit card.

• And unfortunately there’s  no “right” or “wrong” answer here - just the one that YOU are comfortable with, ya know?.
• Pros to purchasing now: Costs are AFFORDABLE!  Mortgage rates are AFFORDABLE!.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

In short, so if you know you wish to live in an area for at least 3-5 years, then it’s a the majority of excellent time to order. Update: Can too deduct all that interest!  Which is a biggie, can’t believe I forgot regarding that one.

• Cons to purchasing now: Credit is MUCH tighter, you’re now in $xxx,xxx amount of more debt, you have to fix everything yourself (plenty of $$), and you’re “stuck” in one place.
• Sooooooo, I’m probably the wrong person to ask regarding this cuz I’ll try and convince you NOT to order one yet ;) I’d too probably tell you to save at least $10,000 in an emergency fund first too cuz houses are mad pricey!  And you’re on the hook for it all by yourself too.
• Worth noting: bUT, if you’re asking me for a financially factual answer, I say go for it.  The time is excellent for purchasing a house (esp your 1st since you don’t have to worry regarding offloading one either), and it seems you have your head on straight.

Is Budgets Sexy Worth It?

Be sure to spot a realtor first, though, and grab pre-approved so you know *exactly* how much house you can afford (within your spending plan!!!)). And too so you know what your average monthly payments will be near.

• Be sure to add in added for homeowner’s insurance, a few hundred for maintenance, and too condo/home association fees.
• More importantly, then try pretending paying this mortgage for 3-6 months so you know what it’ll be like!.
• If you’re spending $500 renting, and your mortgage is $1,000, send an added $500 each month into your markdowns account.  Following a few months you’ll see if it’s worth it or not and if you can handle it :) So basically, follow your heart.

Where the Real Savings Hide

Here’s a couple other posts sorta relating to this if you require more: Pay off student loans, or save for a house? We got milked for $24,000 last year.
