<prompt> Human: Alright guys, Im 20 years old, I make about 1,800 a month, I never had lived anywhere but my parents house and I have always wanted to own my very own house. Will anyone at all loan me at least 200,000 to buy a house? Where do I even start? Any input at all is helpful. Thanks! Assistant: Is that before or after taxes? Either way.. I highly doubt any where is going to lend you that amount of money making 22k a year. My SO and myself take home around 50k a year after taxes and arent looking at a mortgage that high, thats just insane. Id guess you need some more knowledge on finances in general if you think you could make that work.Human: Thats after taxes and yeah your probably right but how would I ever buy a house then? I have to have a better job if I ever want to buy a house? It doesnt even have to be that nice the lowest I have seen houses priced in my area is like 200,000.  <response>: I make 80k a year, with a good long credit history and I barely got preapproved for 200k. You have a long way to go.
