Im not voting unless FRY edits it to say “I live off of your tax dollars”. Also no way most of the I “rent” from my family crew will vote. ---

~5 years. House \> Rent for quality of life if nothing else. Hopefully I’ll at least break even relative to renting, if not make a few bucks. But I’ll finish my MBA in like 3 years. So hopefully there will be a bit of a step change in my salary, plus I’m married and we have 2 incomes. So by 5 years from the time I bought my house I should be able to upgrade to a house/town we’ll want to stay in for 10+ years. If plans don’t work out, then oh well. I’m living somewhere that’s still nice and I can easily afford. 1800 sq-ft, 2 full baths, and an oversized 2 car garage so it’s not like I’m cramped. ---

> [@Xander](#): > > Renters are not proud enough to vote… especially the family rent category. > > X… ehh, doesn’t matter to me. My parents are hooking me up with an awesome place to live while i am in school. I can swallow my pride for that 🙂 Hell my dad is selling the house I live in now and is gonna buy another one for me to live in when I graduate. I will be paying full rent at that one until I decide that I am living in a place where I want to settle down for a while. At that point, I will buy a house of my own. ---
