Do we

1. Buy a town home that’s $450k and live there for 4-5 years. Then buy dream home

2. Buy dream home now with a construction loan - live in apartment for a year while it’s built ($1400 on rent/month). Loan amount after down payment would be $650k.

Concepts of “starter homes” is a myth propagated by the real estate industry - you pay too much in commissions and sunk costs. I’d suggest to wait and buy the house you really want. Is the town home for $450k or is that the loan amount on the town home? I would do #2 if the finances work out and you’ll live there for a good decade. Also remember there’s a diff between what u need and what u can afford, lot of people buy property based on the latter.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?

Hi everyone, not sure if I have any options but figured it doesn’t hurt to ask. I signed a lease in June for $2050 when I was under the impression it wouldn’t get lower than that. The same apartment is now down $1650 and has been dropping. this is super frustrating since it’s such a dramatic drop. It’s almost more cost effective to break the lease for $4k in order to save $4500 over 12 months - $500 in total savings + cheaper if I renew next year. Do I have any negotiation power? Pls help/advise
