It may be impossible in NYC, LA, SF but in other parts of the country its do-able.
My girlfriend is going back to school to complete her bachelors degree and working at the same time. She is saving all her pennies, plus I'm trying to do better for myself as well (careerwise) so we can buy our house one day.

Still mooching off the parents . However, I commend all you evo owners that own a house, or are in the process of paying off your house payments. I started working 2 months ago and the money I make just evaporates, it's crazy! I always thought that the money I earned would just sit in my bank, but after you pay for car payment, insurance, gas, clothes, food, movies, and some other tid bits, I've got like 50 dollars left. Mind you, I still live at home with my parents and they help with the payments and insurance a little. Live sucks, oh well .

25, cant afford to buy a house in socal, although I make decent $$! My stocks have been doing pretty good so far this year though so I am not too worried I dont have a house under my name!

Owning a home used to be some people's retirement plans. They would appreciate 1-5% per year and when they were ready to retire, they could sell and move into a smaller home and live off the cash. Houses are one investment that has not fallen in value historically. I just purchased my home in September, so I definitely have a lot of mortgage to pay off.... but I have big plans for it. And it is correct... if you pay your mortgage on time, your credit will get better, you get discounts on car insurance, etc... lots of varying benefits. I would recommend people try to buy a house if it is financially possible for them.
