28, no credit card debt, no school loans, no car payments,
close to 10K saved up for a house downpayment. I've also got a nice chunck in the 401K. I feel pretty good about where I am right now. I can't wait to get a place of my own.

that's really bad way to buy a house. you still need money to furnish the house, etc. I know people say blah blah, but it's the truth. You'll need things like fridge, furniture, washer/drier, TV and other stuff that you don't think of until you own a house.
I kid you not, we spend around $10K in the first year we bought our house for various things and no we didn't go for the best of everything. I wanted to but my gf didn't want to and I am glad we didn't. I mean who needs a $1000 washer... ido
