I couldn't agree more. A few times over the past couple years I thought about getting a new vehicle but then though "I'll just drive this until the money it costs to keep this running becomes to much". Of course I haven't saved any of that money. But I know I would've had to sell that vehicle by now.

I like Mr. bogie's advice on this deal, Mr. Dunit35.

All you really need right now is a stove, a bathroom, and a good bed. Save as much money as you can, avoid debt like the plague, and take your vitamins.

At this stage, consider your vehicle as transportation and nothing more. You already have a woman, so there's no need to purchase to impress. Just curious, how long until you graduate?

Two years at the least.

Yeah, just focus on graduating... live modestly, get married... save some $ and you'll be better off. Taking on too much too early could get you in a bind that pushes you to file for bankruptcy, then you're SOL for a while.

Very good point, have less money could cause problems in our relationship also.

No doubt and all buying a house does is give your new bride all sorts of reasons to buy new stuff... that doesn't seem to happen as much in an old apartment. So, you're saving in a number of ways.

Plus, getting into a house means 3 trips a month to Home Depot... then there is lawn care and crap like that... need I say more?

i would get a apartment that was cheap. That way when she dumps you there is she can't get much out of you.

I am looking at a house right now on the net. It's only 625 sq ft. How small is that? Pretty small?

I don't even know if that qualifies as a house. Heh.

For the sake of comparisons, most 2 car garages are about 250 sq feet.

The room I'm sitting in right now is 400.

That house is a small apartment.
