So tired of renting... rant

[Boss 351]

jebus... Right now I'm paying about $7000 a year for rent. Yeah it's a nice place and all but still. However those more fancy buildings means I have this stupid lady asking me to clean my windows every week and to make sure I heat the place during the day so the "hardwood floors don't bind" lol

I should have enough cash for down payment on a home by spring (got 5k saved up but want 10k). I don't have any debt either and whatever cash I waste in the Cougar (4k budget for this car) is paid for in cash. I think I may go back to my parents place for a summer so I can put even more money aside and have about 15k or more in the bank before I apply for a morgage. What I'm thinking for a first home is a mobile home, around here they have nice ones with a garage that go for cheap. I could live in this for 3 or 4 years, sell and then buy my first real home. That way I won't loose money because I will be able to sell the home for the same price I paid (or more). Currently I live alone and I'm not too sure about the girlfriend so I'm still planning my future to be lived alone. I mean I don't want to depend on anybody for buying my own home, that way if the G/F doesn't work out, I can kick her out hehe

If you got a garage.. it's #1! Good tho about the G/F thing.. anyway.. you could always get a king sized bed and have your playground

Yup a garage would be sweet. My cousin just sold her mobile home which got me mad because I would have liked it but it was too soon for me.

Anyway it was a large one with a HUGE land, the neighbors are far away and beyond the backyard is a huge field and beyond that it's a corn field lol Her garage was big enough for two cars, and had a 2nd floor with, get this, a 3 1/2 apartment on top of the garage. I would have put a wet bar, pool table and big screen tv upstairs in the garage. So the house can stay clean during parties... She sold it for 67,000 bucks grrrrrrrrrr

Sweet 67,000buck.. :S but hey dude.. the day you're going to buy a mobile house.. and you need some help restoring it.. or build a garage.. I would be there!
But damn.. the way you descibed it.. this mobile would have kick ass!

I'm renting too but I love my place too much to leave , I have a small heated garage and a Music room , it's all it matters for me at this time and I pay $550.00 monthly so it's fair enough for me , if I ever move it will be for a house but I'm not in a hurry , I've been here for a year now and love my place..
