<prompt> Human: Hi there. Hopefully Im posting in the right sub. First time coming here and started reading information on the side bar but thought Id post too also get more information. So like the title says Im getting married in a year and now want to move into a house and not rent an apartment. My partner and I make together around 150k a year and have been at our jobs more than a year and a half and dont plan on leaving them. My fiance was offered a new territory which is also the reason for the move to make the commute easier. We dont have much for a down payment since our money is mostly going towards the wedding. Neither of us have any experience in buying a home and I want to know the first steps to getting a loan and buying the house. Also want to know anything that could help in the long term or things other people wish they would have done or asked when buying their house too. Thanks!  <response>: We dont have much for a down payment since our money is mostly going towards the wedding. First lesson: when youre making 150k a year, which is good money, you can have just about anything you want. But thats not enough money to have EVERYTHING you want.So do you want an expensive wedding or the savings to buy a house in a financially responsible manner?
