I'm a much older goat, now! Retired from a rotten job working for an obnoxious, inept arsefardle, and focusing on gunsmithing and developing a machine shop. Glad to see you're still kicking! And another year older, I might add...

Can't forget something I don't know.
Nevertheless I wish you a happy one!

Here is the thing. I live in land down under called Australia and property prices here are 12 to 15 times your average wages before tax. I am 32 and still renting and no hope in hell I can save 20% deposit to get loan even if I live off noodles for few years ( or may be I can if I only live off noodles ). There are many reasons for property prices so high here but I am just questioning what it takes to buy a first home ?
How long did it takes you to buy your first home ?
Edit
Thank you for your responses.

I was 30 and a big chunk of the down payment was the only stock option grant that ever paid off for me. It turned into a money pit with neighbors from hell. I sold it at 36 and swore I'd never buy a home again.
|

|
I'm in that situation now. Neighbors always throwing trash in my yard or rocks at my siding when I'm not around.
|

I guess you've tried to speak with them about that...
Could a sign and a fake or even real camera help?
what can make people behave that way?
|
|
|
|
|
I have thought of a camera with a motion detector.
I don't know why people behave that way. I like to be left alone, so I leave people alone.
A main problem of owning a house, you just can't get up and leave very easily or cheaply.
|
|

|

Yes, the typical downsides of being an owner are:
- not easy to relocate.
- cross fingers not to have a bank problem.
All the other things are (or should be) advantages...
A pity your neighbors are giving you headaches...
Good luck!

37 years old in Columbus Ohio. My advice to you is wait until you get married, if you are not, because I learned the hard way, women HAVE to pick the house. I had a woman for 6 years and bought her a house and we broke up because she didn't like it; so now I am stuck with it.
Housing is fairly cheap in the mid-west U.S., but I'd almost prefer to live in an apartment. I am stuck with neighbors who throw trash in my yard and cutting the grass and other upkeep. I will admit that I put 20% down and have very low payments that let me buy a 9 month old car 1 year ago with cash and I'm currently on holiday in Thailand, living the life!

Good heavens, man. That is a fact that we, as men, have to learn very early in life. YOUR WIFE HAS TO MAKE ALL THE DECISIONS THAT AFFECT YOU BOTH, otherwise your marriage won't last long. I've been married for 53 years now and I haven't made an important decision in all that time. My wife even chooses what clothes I wear when we go out. It saves such a lot of arguments that way.

Thank you. Yes, I have learned, the hard way! I won't make that mistake again.

You have certainly started the right way for a long and happy marriage. Long may it last, my friend.

Thank you my friend.
