I was trying to buy a house with my parents like 2 years ago, but it didn't work out. So, I took the money I was going to spend on a down payment for the house and bought my Z

Buying a house will be my first priority after graduating this May though

Once your home is paid for you can at least think about retirement.

My house represents more to me than people see. It is my home. It is not what I can sell it for that matters. I have grown roots essentially. I would rather stay home than go to eastern Europe where the most beautiful women on earth live.

No longer having a house payment allows me to spend like a SOB, but I never developed a rich lifestyle. Lucky for me. I just save, buy gold, and give my mom money, because I can.
