<prompt> Human: Hi all!I am a 23 year old male with a steady job making 52kyear before taxes and have a sizable amount of money that is currently losing money in the stock market. I have lost faith in the market over the last year or so after losing roughly 15 of what I initially put in 100k. My cousin recently bought his neighbors house and is completely gutting it and redoing basically everything besides the foundation brand new roof, appliances, kitchen, carpets, flooring, etc.... I am considering putting what I have left in the stock market into the house. I am coming to you guys to ask for some advise on the costbenefits of owing a house at such a young age. Any and all advise is most appreciated! Thanks!  <response>: Whatever you do, dont pull your money out of the market. You havent lost anything until you sell it for less than you paid. That is how people lose on stock s, getting spooked and pulling out early.
