I want my own place!
Can I, please? Where do I even start? I am so oblivious to all of this. Why didn't I look when I first got my big-girl job? All of these years paying rent ... what a tremendous waste. 
Is this out of reach with a single income? I have become obsessed with looking at stupid craigslist and all of the flashy pictures of tempting townhouses that seem unattainable.

I only started doing that once I was unemployed . . .

Just get a couple roommates to pay 2/3 your mortgage! I was on the verge of buying a house as a single girl, but went to Taiwan instead. Do it!!!

Amy, we had a townhome in Logan on less-than-teacher income. I would highly reccommend it. Roommates would be a great way to help pay, unless you want your own place so you don't have to live with them anymore :) Good luck with the search!

Hmm ... thanks for all of the encouragement! I am kind of leaning towards no roommates. I honestly don't know if I'd be able to do it on my own though.

so the house across the street from us is for sale and it is way less than a townhouse! i think it is a quick sale but it is listed for $135,000! you should look into that. and you could still have a roomate or 2, plus you would live across the street from us. think about it, then say yes.
