I do live at my parent's house, not in the basement. I was encouraged by my parents to stay home and save for a house, so I did. Smart move.
I'm there for 4 more weeks, then I'll move into my own house with my soon to be wife and start a great life together. I'll have a house paid off in less than 5 years, including counting for the expense of children that will come soon.
I played my cards right and took advantage of my opportunities to plan for the future.
I'll own a house free and clear with a beautiful family before I'm 35.
