<prompt> Human: I am currently researching into buying a house. It has been something I have been wanting to do for a while now ever since i moved out of my parents house at 18. In that time i have been renting and living with roommates. I feel like I am out growing living with roommates and really want to live on my own.I make 40k a year which I know isnt a whole lot but its what i have for now. I am in the IT field with no certifications yet so I know if I really wanted to I would be making more. I am just not sure if buying a house would be a good decision or should I wait till I have more of an income in years to come?  <response>: I feel like I am out growing living with roommates and really want to live on my own.Why dont you just rent a studio or one-bedroom apartment to yourself then?
