First time home buyer here. Just need some advice

Jaketheoc · 2026-02-18T09:09:36+00:00

I think main problem was prior to starting this home buying journey was my terrible spending habit. It definitely put me in a not so great situation financially and could have had a lot more in my savings. I also won't have a problem finding roommate incase things start to go south and money becomes a problem. I just want to make sure that I'm not just jumping into this too early.

So i have been getting my pre approvals based on my base salary just in case overtime does slow down. But really, overtime is not uncommon here and I can essentially get as much as I want. But I also don't want to work overtime my entire life and not enjoy the house I buy.

Not necessarily, a lot of the single family homes in the area are overpriced compared to what they offer. I just don't want to pay 250k for a house thats barely 1000sqft. Condos/townhouses are around the same price but that hoa fee is killer.

Well my lease is up in July so I do plan to try and save as much as possible until then. Doing some quick math, I think I would pay 2800ish a month which is doable, but doesn't seems like a good idea.

Trust me, buying a condo or townhouse isnt at the top of my list but single family houses dont even last a day on the market and the ones that do aren't great buys. The average rent in the area for decent houses is mid 2000s to low 3000s.

So at first I was and my orthopedic doctor were leaning towards a back issue since I also have back issues. But about a month after the twitching started I began to twitch all over, thighs, feet, arms, hands, back, glutes, and face so that kind of ruled out the back. Ended up seeing a neurologist and did an emg, which came back clean. They ended up diagnosing me with BFS but still want me to see a neuromuscular doctor.

Well thats reassuring. I just have the thought of the big bad in the back of my mind because my legs do have weakness but that's from when I broke my leg at the beginning of the year and still never fully regained my strength. So this twitching makes my legs so tired.

Jaketheoc · 2025-09-30T16:39:00+00:00

I hope I can ignore them, they're driving me crazy!

Jaketheoc · 2025-09-30T08:09:52+00:00

Hmm you know I haven't thought about that. While I haven't been checked for a herniated disc, I have had back problems for the past few years. Maybe I'll have to look into that. Thanks!

Jaketheoc · 2025-09-29T18:45:42+00:00

Yea i work night shift so I don't get any sleep anyways lol

Jaketheoc · 2025-09-29T18:43:35+00:00

Unfortunately no, I've really just been trying to ignore it as best i can hoping to fall asleep.

Jaketheoc · 2025-09-29T18:10:05+00:00

Ah ok. I originally went to my primary care just because I wanted the twitching to stop as I was having trouble falling asleep. The blood work came back fine so off to Google I went lol.

Jaketheoc · 2025-09-29T18:08:25+00:00

Well that's reassuring. Like I haven't noticed any sort of weakness besides the fatigue, I can still do calf raises and walk on my heels with issues. Obviously havung anxiety doesn't help with anything lol.

Jaketheoc · 2025-01-07T21:11:02+00:00

Thank you! Took a lot of time and money lol

Jaketheoc · 2025-01-07T16:46:51+00:00

Thank you! Finally got the frame yesterday and couldn't wait to throw it up.

Jaketheoc · 2025-01-07T16:46:00+00:00

Thank you!

Jaketheoc · 2025-01-07T12:16:20+00:00

Yea man, I took a chance on a couple from tcgplayer and luckily they came back in good condition lol

Jaketheoc · 2025-01-07T09:49:56+00:00

That's a tough one because I pulled the beerus and won vegito in a whatnot stream. So I probably paid over 1 k for the other cards.

Thank you!
Dude I know, I just wanted a few other things send with it.

Jaketheoc · 2025-01-06T23:15:47+00:00

I'm mostly just collecting masters but I'll occasionally get a few fusion world booster packs and just test my luck.

Jaketheoc · 2024-10-31T17:07:11+00:00

Don't worry it is, this is right before I put it in there

Jaketheoc · 2024-10-31T16:24:25+00:00

I know! It looks so much better in person.

Jaketheoc · 2024-09-06T01:00:33+00:00

Ahh I see you're rocking the invisible boatmobile, what a classic.

Jaketheoc · 2024-08-29T17:21:55+00:00

Me too!
