i'm suggesting and "option c"

 

house is the better investment!:thumbup:

 

project cars rock :rockon:

 

I was expecting the opposite response from people on this board...you guys surprised me. I guess maybe I should do the responsible thing...then once I get the house, if I have some money left over to play around with, then maybe it will be fun car time.

 

Stay at home, and sponge off your parents if possible. Keep saving up for a fat down payment.

I'm 23, and bought a house at 22. It's a lot more work than you realize. Free time < 6 hrs per week.

 

If you want to sell the car, buy a used car, and either get your own apt or get a house as soon as you can man.

 

why waste money paying for an apartment when he can save that money for a down payment for a house?

 

Save money for a house dude. Don't worry about people giving you shiat for living at home. WTF is wrong with that? Is there anything wrong to live at home and save money for your own place? No one is going to laugh at you when you're in your own house and maintain financial stability rather than struggling in debt living in some fawked up apartment.

Oh, but he drives a nice car....shiet....who gives a fawk?

Think long term bro. I've been there in various stages of my life. It's not cool to have to move back home with the parents after struggling with rent, car payments, and other bills. You should move out when you're ready. However, I assume you're helping out with the bills at home as well...because there's a difference between living at your parents to save some money to buy your own place than living at home just to freeload and do nothing for your parents' generosity.

 

I think the gist of this thread is be responsible and don't worry about the ride right now.

 

A house is a huge investment, it's well worth it. I don't know of any car that appreciates rather than depreciate. I bought my house 2 months ago and it's nice to know you own it. No more throwing money away for rent. I hated renting. The cars can come later on.
