I bought my first home cash at age 34 last year. Of course it’s an 18 foot, 14 year old trailer. But still I’m finally ahead of the curve
Congratulations! To have a home secured with no debt is a lifetime goal few attain in this current cruel world!
I bought a home six years ago for cash. Unfortunately it is a used school bus and I can’t actually live in it legally anywhere.
hey still -congrats!
the only reason i own my home outright at 45 is because: My wife died in 2011 and insurance payout covered the house. i could not buy my own home again. capitalism sucks.
I refuse to believe that anyone is buying homes
It’s extremely hard. I bought a house by myself last year, but I had the fortune(?) of living rent free in a van for 3 years while I saved as hard as I could. I was also working 2 jobs, 7 days a week, earning about $145k a year. And it’s one of the cheapest houses in the area, a relatively small block. Now I only work 6 days a week. The value of my house has already gone up by 18%, in one year that I’ve been here. It’s madness.
Absolutely none of what you just said makes any sense… However, I’m glad that you’re finally in a home.
Was that your van parked down by the river?
Only reason I was able to buy a home in my mid-40s was my wife picking up the phone to inquire about Habitat for Humanity. Make the fucking call!
Worst case is you spend an hour at the introductory meeting and figure it won’t work for you. Can’t imagine many reasons it wouldn’t, just put in the application.
Be glad to answer questions, but be aware, the program varies a bit by region.
