<prompt> Human: Im 31m and while Id like to afford a home, I live in LA and its too hard on a single income. I dont want to date or have an SO in the near future so thats out of the question.I recently got a bump to 83k so Im making more than I thought I would. My salary kind of increased exponentially in a few years so all of this is new to me. Unfortunately I still live with parents but apartments are extremely expensive in LA. My biggest expense is my car which costs me 900 a month but luckily its about 30 paid off.Should I continue living with parents and saving up for a house? That will take me YEARS to do. Im seriously getting older and sick of the grind of working but not having anything to show for it. I have about 21k in my savings, 10k in my IRA, and 10k in my 401k.edit: sell the car and get a used Honda civic? Will save me tens of thousands...edit2: as to WHY I bought the car. I was 27 years old and was unemployed. The most Id ever made was 18hr at a temp job for 7 months. I worked my ass off to get to where I am and wanted something nice. Now Im a little older, more used to the higher income, and dont feel the need to ride in a nice car I had previously driven the same car for 10 years.Assistant: Stay home, save money, increase retirement funds, what the hell you doing with a 900 mth car payment? Human: I was an idiot and dropped 58k on a new lexus gs350 f sport because I got a bump to 60k at the time and thought I was a big baller. Now the payments are sucking me dry but Im just going to keep the car and refinance in a year.  <response>: JESUS H. CHRIST!? Ballers dont have car payments bro
