Default Gettin Up Out My Parents House

My job, and business is starting to get profitable so i decided to buy a place for myself. Im 21 and single so its just me, and the occasional random girl. I'll rarely be home, so its nothing special. Just a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath townhouse. Settlement is Late April. Woohoo!

what do you do for a living again? Also, how old are you? I thought you were out of your parents place a long time ago.

I just turned 21. I'm an electrical technician and have a property investment business on the side.

Congrats! But why a townhouse? Thinking of renting it at some point in the future?

Yes sir! When i move on to bigger and better things it'll just be another way to generate income. I'm also hoping for the other side to be put up for sale as well.

Just remember all the money you put into that car you'll never get back. A car is a terrible liability. Not only does it cost you money every month, it depreciates in value.

Just a tip: Your earned income (paycheck) should not pay for your luxuries in life. Your investments should.

Great start into the real world. When your older you will be pleased with your decision.

When I was 21 it was all about Party this and party that. Bulk of my paycheck went toward having a good time. All my friends were the same way. I had a great paying job, I did have fun, I did have nice things, but, I did not invest in anything for the long term until I got married and started my 2nd phase. Married man and home owner, Now I'll probably have to work my *** off until I'm 65 yrs old to live like I do right now.. I should have started at your age, to think long term. Good choice, young man..
