<prompt> Human: Im looking at purchasing a home to live in while I go to college, because paying rent is almost-sortof-like throwing away money in my opinion.If I purchase a home not a nice one, Im 21 for 17,000 pay 20 down and have a 15 or 30 year fixed mortgage, is there a faster way out of that mortgage if I start making more money? Furthermore if I sell the home before the mortgage is paid off, what happens?Any life advice would be excellent, also any other information that I should have or think about would be fantastic!Thanks everyone!Edited to be less critical  <response>: Id focus on school, and let a service provider the landlord take care of the numerous headaches, risks, and time wasters that come with home ownership.
