<prompt> Human: So a little bit about me:23yo employed full time.Monthly income:4200 - work1500 - parents give meSo total - 5700Expenses: 1400 - rent 200 cleaning 50 - grocery1500 - eating outclothesweekend tripsmisc500 - credit card gym, phone, netflix, subscriptions, cable, transit pass, reoccuringsTotal: 3650So Im thinking renting is basically throwing away money. And renting is super expensive in my city. I want to buy a condo in the 450600K range. Will my mortgage be less than my rent?Downpayment I can do 25K I have saved up, my parents may match so up to 50K Max. Is it a good idea to own at my age? Will banks even give me a mortgage?  <response>: Renting is not throwing money away: With those numbers 1400 rent vs 450k condo it doesnt make financial sense to buy a house.
