<prompt> Human: Hey guys. I plan on going to community college and splitting rent on an apartment next year. But only for 1 year till my certification is over. Then I would like to purchase a starter home for myself. What do you guys suggest? I was thinking about either purchasing a trailer or mobile home and then saving until I can buy my dream home. Either that or buying a forclosure and fixing it up myself. So whats your opinions on the matter? Ill be around 19-20 at the time by the way.  <response>: Are you where the jobs are for whatever profession youre training for? Youre young. You may need to be mobile in order to go to the jobs, if theyre not coming to you. Tying yourself down with a house now would needlessly complicate your ability to move across the country for better employment.Dont buy into all of the, Rent is throwing money away, stuff. Its not. And at your stage in life, renting really is the right thing to do.
