401k is way up there, but liquid savings...very very little. And what I have saved I am planning to buy a monoposto with anyway so I might as well call that gone.

I sold my house and moved to be on my own, i had 0 furniture. You can sleep on the floor, its worth it to own your own place.

I concur


Or just buy a house and have your friends pay to live in your house

Good to see lots of people saving up for a downpayment on houses...........1 thing though is if you can put 20% down it is extremely easy to get the rest of it financed. Even if you aren't putting any money down its not too bad, just gotta make sure you can handle the payments on a 2nd mortgage...........
