[quote="WRXtranceformed"]Jewels I can see what you mean, and sure it's a shame that you might have to have two incomes to afford a place you want, but that's life unless one of you is making $150k+ a year and has fantastic (700+) credit... or you move somewhere where you can buy homes for ~150k and keep your mortgage payments around 1500 a month.
As far as something happening to you, I mean you don't live the rest of your life in fear of stuff like that do you? You can't be afraid of something with a remote chance of happening. Take out life insurance if it's that big of a deal. If you really can't afford the house you're living in when a significant other dies, then you sell it and downsize. There are plenty of married couples who have newborn children and still own a home too =P It just takes careful budgeting (among many other things).[/quote
Lee you are right. I'm not saying I refuse to work and therefore will never have a house, I'm saying that its unfair of you to say well if you want a house this is the way to do it. Get roommates or put your woman to work. Rex and I won't have children before a house, because we don't want to have that problem.As far as something happening to one of us, you are absolutely correct, I was just throwing that out there. Anyway, you all make good points. Rex and I will be looking for a house as soon as I get a job, cause we don't to continue paying rent on our tiny ass one bedroom apartment. For us, we are in for the long haul so it makes sense for us to sit down and start looking for options. And actually Lee we might be coming to you with a few questions as soon as we are ready to start looking.
