<prompt> Human: Hi all. I am a recently married 24yo with a 50k a year income. Currently renting an apartment with my wife and her cousin. The price is 1200 a month. The original plan was to just renew our lease but have her cousin move out when we do so, this was part of the original agreement. As I think about it, 1200 seems like a lot for us to spend a month on housing to rent an apartment. My wife is in grad school and gets paid around 1600 a month. We both have student loans to pay and a car payment but not too much other debt. However, the one big obstacle is we are unsure of if she will get an internship in our current city in 2 years. The plan is for her to get internship here but we cannot guarantee that. It seems risky to buy a home this summer with the possibility that we could have to move in 2 years. We would like a house because we have a dog and would like to have a yard for him, plus we just need more space for all of the things we have. What would the recommendation for this scenario be? Hopefully it all makes sense and thanks for replies!-Would renting a home be a silly option in this case?  <response>: We would like a house because we have a dog and would like to have a yard for him, plus we just need more space for all of the things we have.Why not just rent a house then?
