<prompt> Human: Hello redditors,Im a 23 year old aspiring actuary in New York currently looking for a full time job while working a part time for living expenses. So I basically have almost no income atm and financially dependent on my parents. My parents have recently sold a house and are currently in the works to buy a new one for investment purposes. The contract that I just signed has both my parents, my older brother, and me as the purchasers of this house 4 signatures in total. And thats pretty much all I know about the whole situation, as my parents have not discussed the details with me other than telling me its for my own good to have the real estate in the future. I dont know the financial implications, and would like you guys to share some thought on my situation. I feel like I just signed my financial freedom away when I havent even started real life. What questions should I be asking? What do I need to find out?EDIT: I just expressed my concern in regards to my future financial responsibility to my mother and she said my brother has taken out a loan from the bank to pay the seller and since the loan is solely under my brothers name, I dont have an obligation to pay anything if I didnt want to. But expectation wise, she said the house is meant for me and my brother and therefore we would be paying for it 5050 every month. She also said my name is only on the house so future decisions would also have to go through me as well. So in short, she just made the decision for me to buy a house with my brother.  <response>: Honestly, what the hells going on out here. Help me understand.1. Your parents didnt force you to do it. You choose to do it. They didnt put a gun to your head or anything of the such.2. Youre an aspiring actuary but dont understand basic finance.3. You provided almost no information about the transaction or your personal finances. You didnt tell us if you signed a contract even. What is going on here?4. This is a legal issue, try rlegaladvice.
