<prompt> Human: Hello all,First time posting here, figured this was an important enough question to ask. Some background; Im 22, in the military, and a college student.Im currently bringing in 42k a year at my rank and fairly comfortable income wise. I dont have car payments or any massive debts. I have been renting since 2014 at two separate locations. One being an apartment I was paying 525 a month with my SO and my current house Im paying 1300 a month with a roommate and my SO. We are in the process of looking at a house for 150k with a 5.1 interest rate. The total monthly payment estimate with taxesprincipalinsurance is roughly 1126 a month. It makes sense to us that we might aswell own a house if we are going to get a larger home that costs roughly the same per month. Our expenditures currently are only insurance and utilitiesrent. The house is decently large for the price and includes a detached garage, new appliances, and no large issues home inspection found 2 minor faults which the seller is fixingAny advice, am I right in going through with purchasing a home? Or is it a bad idea?Assistant: Are you married? Wouldnt advise getting a house with someone youre not married to. How much money does your SO make? 42k buying a 150k house is really pushing it and not really doable.Human: We are about to get married, but she makes around 22k a year.  <response>: Youre really setting yourself up to be strapped tight financially for the foreseeable future. You can PROBABLY afford it realistically, but if I was you I would rent for a couple more years until after you finish college and both of you get better paying jobs.
