My fiancee and I are both going to be 20 soon. He will be finished with school this year and his current job wants to start him out at about 55,000 a year with fantastic benefits. I will be finished with school in May of 2008. I have had my job for about 3 years, and when i finish school i will only be making about 30,000 dollars (child care field)
We are planning to move out of my moms house around the year 2009, so that he has about a year and a half to work, and so that i can get started in my career and save some money as well.
He has a theory that sounds pretty smart. He says he does not want to rent a place, ever. In Connecticut, the cost of rent(To rent somewhere half way decent)is about the same as a mortgage payment. Between the two of us, we are planning to save about 80,000 dollars for a downpayment on a small condo/appartment.
I dont know much about this, it sounds like a smart idea....
Any tips/suggestions/comments?
