MakintheBacon I personally could never go back to apartment living for some of those exact reasons. I don’t blame you one bit.

mycareercrusade Living at home is a win-win in my opinion. It helps both you and your parents out financially. Take advantage as long as it’s a mutually profitable experience.

Eyesonthedollar There are definitely pros and cons to both. Everyone needs to take a hard look at their finances and their local housing market before deciding.

brian_robben Yes! Context is key. It’s not a black and white answer. You have to look at the numbers to find out which is best for you.

Jaime Donovan A starter house can be a great investment is you buy in the right place at the right time for the right price. It can also be a big PITA if you don’t enjoy being a landlord.

Beachbudget Haha, I actually love Home Depot, but I wish I didn’t have to go there quite as much sometimes. If homeownership isn’t your dream, don’t pursue it. Do what makes you happy and makes the most sense for your situation, for sure.
