When rent / buy becomes a reality and you can't escape it anymore
I'm what you'd consider a normal adult on paper. I guess I'm alright. I have a good credit score (805) savings, $30,000 and about $5k in my bank account. My debt is just my car loan ($400, about to be done) and My student loans ($300) all paid comfortably.
My landlord wants me out bc he wants to sell the apartment I have always been a bit of a nomad (lived in 3 countries in the past 10 years) but I have been living in this city for 4 years. In this apartment for 2. He wants to sell the place. I'd if buying is right for me, or if I should go and find another rental. I'm a woman in her mid 30s, alone. I don't want a husband, or kids, I just wanna live in peace and cook at night and travel and chill.
Idk what to do. If I buy, I'm stuck here for a while. If I just rent... I'll leave this place I've called home for the past 2 years that I have fixed up so nicely. Can I afford to buy? Do I want to? I hate adulting.
