If its an "either a or b", situation, the car should always be secondary to a home.
Generally speaking, if you are renting right now (i.e. paying someone else's mortgage) go with the house and start investing in yourself. If you are living with your parents right now, this is the perfect time to save up b/c it will take your a lonnnnng time to save up your downpayment (its 25% here in canada, less in the US) if you move out and are paying for rent + life expenses. Getting in early and building up equity sooner rather than later will have a huge impact on your financial quality of life down the road. I went with cheap car and then a house last year. However, I do wonder sometimes about what life would be like if I had decided to stay home with my parents and bought a new z06 or viper instead.... ![]() Last edited by BOTLFEDLT1; 26 Jul 2007 at 11:10 am. |

hell, the colleges here in NC are some of the most expensive. NC state, Duke, UNC, Wake forest.........lady I know was paying $45,000 per year to go to Duke. She still has 3 yrs to go. That's 180K for a 4 year degree.

However if you could settle for a 400K house then your payments would only be around 1200 a month. And a 300k house would only cost 638.66 a month. And around here 300K house are pretty nice.
