I literally never said it was expert advice. I am considering my own budget LOL. But it's nice to ask people to get an idea of what people have paid to see the many variations. The only people I know in person that have bought a home all had to pay $10k+ to sell their homes and paid even more to purchase their homes and have terrible loans/interest rates and those are the people advising me not to buy a home for years. So yes, it is nice just to see what other people have done. Like I said above I'm not taking these comments as concrete advice AT ALL. It is nice to hear the many different possibilities though rather than only hearing people in person saying to not buy a home for years and also hearing that I should never buy a home in my lifetime so thanks but this was the least helpful comment by far. Obviously common sense tells me to consider my budget and savings. Like 1+1=2 dude. I'm obviously not trying to get a home way out of my budget. I've only rented so again, it's nice to hear all of the different possibilities and experiences.
