So tired of renting... rant

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

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
