<prompt> Human: Current set up 22yo with 2 big dogs renting in TN and I am about to start nursing school and I need to know whether I need to keep renting or buy a house.I am currently renting for 750 with utilities around 200. My lease is about to end and I need to know if I should resign for the next 7 months. Im trying to figure out which option will be cheaper because I wont be able to work full time hours starting January because thats when I start nursing school. I am currently working 48 hours a week making 12.12. There is a grant through the government that will pay 15,000 for closing costs and down payment if you buy a house but its got to be at least 65,000. I am worried about having to take out a personal loan in order to be able to pay for rent if I resigned. I am currently not living pay check to paycheck and have about 200 in my account after bills and before my next check. I am also still able to afford to go out with friends occasionally. But during school I wont be able to work 48 hr weeks. What should I do?  <response>: Rent. You dont buy a home because the monthly payment appears cheaper. You buy one because you are financially stable and are ready to settle down in the area for am extended period of time.
