<prompt> Human: So Ive been entertaining this idea of buying a house. But Im not so sure its a good idea for I am still on a 6 month contract.I have been employed since 2012 and have bounced around from job to job. Im a software developer on a 6 month-to-hire contract. I want to move out of my parents house but the only excuse I can come up with for not leaving is job security.They extended my contract to 12 months and have promised to offer me the full time job later on. But I dont like being pulled on this leash. Is it safe to look for a house?  <response>: If you want to move out of your parents house, rent. You are not in a position to buy for the reasons another commentor already stated
