Don't really know my financial outcome yet. only 18.
So considering that I can buy a Decent car or a Great car,
I could rent a fair apartment or an excellent one.
I can live Great on a loan for a few years,if i want it. but it won't last forever.
One day it will backfire
BUT "then" i have a great job and a steady life?? and the small loan i took in
my early youth won't matter??
any real life expiriences ?  |
I don't want to sound like an ass but no you didn't do it...
What you probably did is make a mental list of the pro's and con's however this is NOT the same thing. Trust me on this, writing things down makes it so much more clear.
Try to avoid debt at any cost if possible, I wouldn't even buy a car and use public transportation instead. I'd get a small apartment and try to save as much as possible on food/stuff. Debt is a thing to avoid and it will ALWAYS matter however small. I honestly have a disgust for debt and I cant stand it, to me it feels like running towards a goal with a elastic strapped to your back. The further you come the stronger the elastic pulls you back untill the moment your pile of debt is so big than you fly back faster than ever. Imagine trying to run with a big pile of bricks on your back, thats how it feels to me. I'd never be able to live with myself with the knowledge that I was heavily in debt, I'd be constantly questioning myself how I can reduce the debt one way or another...
From reading your story a quick list to get you started;
Moving out:
Pro
- Living on your own
- Better contact with friends
- Easier time to go to parties and such
- Parents happy that you leave
Cons:
- More costly
- Possibly loans ----> debt, paying back more, monthly payments
- Possibly living more frugal/smaller budget
- You probably have less room in a apartment than right now
Etc.
You can probably come up with more.
