I would support to buy a home.(I got my self one)
remember to some extra on the side for backup(6 month of payment)
buy something that fit your budget (add all your spend hobby and bill check how much you have left for the payment.
then think about rent or buy a house for you
buying a house is the way to go. You can make a lot of money if you can buy a fixer upper, fix it up and the flip it for a profit.
There is nothing wrong with renting. I want to buy a house but I just can't afford to at the moment. I don't make enough and I don't want to have to a 100% financed loan to buy a home. I want to be able to put money down and feel comfortable in living it. I just fear that something would break, or something would come through the roof and I wouldn't be able to afford it.
