<prompt> Human: So Im graduating from college in a few weeks. Ill have a job paying 50k, 25k in savings, and no student loans.My parents have suggested looking into buy a house, and say that they will contribute to purchase. My concern is that Im not sure if I will stay in the current area Im in for more than 3 years.Should I buy a house in hopes that I will be able to sell it when the time comes, or should I rent and invest what I have in savings?Subquestion: If I get a house am I better off putting my extra income into larger payments, or investing it?Thanks for any helpsuggestions.  <response>: No, I wouldnt buy a house. At this point in your life, it doesnt sound like you want to be held down by the responsibilities of home ownership, and you have fully acknowledged that you dont want to live in your area for very long.
