Re: Completely lost and confused and miserable right now
Also, houses cost lots and lots of money even after you buy them (even a brand new house). No matter how well built they are, there are always things that need doing and things going wrong. Yes, experience talking--my sister and I bought a house together.
It sounds like the idea of buying a house is really stressful...so maybe find another apartment for the time being (or a house)--and THEN investigate buying a house--do your research on mortgages, how much money should have to cover an unexpected issues, etc. (And tbh, unless you're mom's in banking, I wouldn't consider her a reliable source). Take time to really look at all your options instead of letting your mom pressure you into making a decision you might regret later.
Contact your financial institution and talk to someone about mortgages--maybe even check with a couple of other banks to make sure you're getting a good deal. (TBH, I'm in Canada and when sis and I went for our mortgage, all they did was a run a credit check and verify our income, they certainly didn't do a line by line review of our spending. I do realise rules vary from place to place.)
The thing to remember is that you do not have to buy a house or a condo RIGHT NOW. You can still rent. Take your time and make sure it's the right decision for YOU.
I'll wish you good luck with everything.
Re: Completely lost and confused and miserable right now
(Anonymous) 2014-06-01 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)I've thought of finding an apartment for another year and then that gives me a year to research buying a house and seeing what all it involves and decide if that's something I really want.
My mom is putting so much pressure on me that it's a decision I have to make RIGHT NOW but I really feel like I need to just step back and breathe for awhile before making any major decisions.
Anyway, thank you!
