We both don't like the idea of renting, especially when renting means spending $800 - $1200 a month. However, we both think it's important to pay off as much debt prior to the purchase of a house as possible. My goal is to at least have the credit card bill and the student loan paid off. I've just purchased my car, so it's going to be awhile before that gets paid off.

We're getting married in October, and I fear I'm going to be completely broke by then...lol!

Dude you are giving me all this crap and your up to your eyes in debit.

I have no revolving debit. My cars are paid off. No student loans, etc.. Other then that I have my mortgages and every day expenses. Let me add day care to that also.

I honestly don't care what your financial situation is but for you to come in here and poop all over me about how to spend and invest money is hilarious.

For the record I am 38 we are pretty close in age.
