Congrats. Looks like you're heading down the right road. Me, I was like... mmmmmmm credit cards.... mmmmmmmmm... I can own more than one car... mmmmmmmm... motorcycles... etc. I'm not saying that you can't have those things and buy a house, but they definitely hurt more than they help. Sure building credit is good, but too much fun stuff, and all of a sudden a house it out of the question. BTW, I'll give you this bit of advice. If you haven't started some kind of retirement account, then now is the time to do it. Even if you put a small amount in now into a 401k or IRA, you wouldn't believe how much it will help. Now is the time to do it, while time is on your side. If you put in $1,000 today, and did nothing else for the next 44 years, at 8% interest (which is realistic in the long term) you would have around $29,500!!! Of course you should put in more than that over time. TRUST me, it helps. If I Stopped putting money in my account today, I could retire at age 65 with half a million dollars. And I've only been putting money in for 3 years. As it is, I plan on retireing with well over a million.
Holy shit!!! I think I was just preaching. Sorry if it sounds like that, but I'm just making a point about investing. Anyway, congrats again on the house, that's a great investment. :bowdown"
Party at Tom's whenever he moves in.
