It's not the price of the house- it's also whether I'll be living here permanently or have to move for work, which I won't know for about another six months to a year.

Besides, that's when my real income-earning kicks in, right now I'm on the very low end of pay.

Getting a degree does wonders for turning that around.

Good for you. Just be patient. When you are making the big bucks you will be able to save fast and won't need to be in debt so much. That cuts interest down the best.
