Re: End of the year disappointment

[(Anonymous)]

That sounds so terrible :( I'm sorry you had such a bad time and it didn't turn out the way it had before.

I know I ought to get over this kind of thing. I'm just starting to feel like this bitter person who can't be happy for their friends' happiness, and that's not really who I want to become. Honestly it doesn't sound like the people you mentioned are actually friends, just acquaintances that you've grown further from this year than you had last year. There's nothing wrong with that at all, but of course it feels crappy.

IMHO, buying a house before the age of 30 (in the US, anyway; maybe you're somewhere else) is a really bad idea. 30 is the magical age for home owner's insurance and mortgage companies. Any younger and you're paying too much. You're also working against your very young credit score whereas renting builds your credit score. Also, in most careers under 30 is too young/too unstable with your career or employer to know that you're going to live somewhere longterm. With the housing market as it is, just about anyone buying a house today who has to sell it within 5 years is going to lose a lot of money.

Don't get too down about comparing yourself to old school friends. I can guarantee there is something about you and your life that each of them is jealous about or would be if they knew everything about you. It's how we humans are; nobody's perfect and neither is life, but we can usually see the things we want in the people we meet.

I hope 2013 is a better year for you, OP!

Thank you, your comment really helped me put things in perspective.
I guess I do need to start thinking of my friends from back then as acquaintances who don't matter all that much, even though that is a bit sad. And yes, I can think of a few things they'd be jealous about; I tend to get wrapped up in my own issues and tend to lose perspective over that.

I do live in a different country and the situation on the housing market here is quite a bit better than in the US, but I still feel 25 is a bit early for buying a house (but then, I think the same thing about getting married and obviously, my peers don't seem to share that opinion).

I hope you have a great 2013 as well!
