From a financial standpoint. Owning a house is the thing to do. Tax wise, investment wise. But when your 20 something, just getting your feet wet with a decent job, its nice to have a maintained apt, where you don’t have to worry about anything except advancing in your career track. As for me, I’m not staying in this area for very long. I rent month to month, and can bounce any time I would like to with 30 days written notice. When I move to AZ I’ll buy a nice house, but for now I pay 435 for a nice apartment in the suburbs, so I’ll stick with that. But paying 900 a month for anything in this area is almost stupid. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-apartment/22241)._
