<prompt> Human: My girlfriend and me is discussing if we should buy an apartment together now or keep renting a while longer. The choice is to rent an apartment for 1400 a month or buy an apartment for 450,000 with a loan of 1.7 interest rate. We have saved up 90,000 and have a combined income of 120,000 a year before taxes are paid.What pros and cons should we look at?Edit: we live in Norway. We also have 70,000 in student loan combined with interest rate of 2.1.  <response>: I wouldnt buy a place with someone I wasnt married to.
