<prompt> Human: Maybe its all purely personal choice, but I wanted to see what is recommended by people in the know.My situation:- 27 years old- Living with my parents but am planning on moving out this year- Previously had lived in a house owned by an in-law currently separated from wife- Never had a credit card- Credit score is 790 from student loan payments- Just got a salaried job last month making 39K- Currently have about 8K in savings- Excellent 403B by company, but I havent set up anything at the moment- Not sure if this job is something I want for the rest of my life, but I dont mind the areaIs it worth it going for a house? Can I even get one, given I have no credit history aside from student loans which Ive been paying on time every month since 2009? Should I just try and grab an apartment first?EDIT: To add, I live in NC, about 15-20 min away from UNC and Duke. I pay about 200mo for student loans. My loan debt is 14K.  <response>: Considering youre only separated from your wife. Dont do anything yet. You still need to get divorced and that could will blow away some of your savings.
