House Buyers 2007.... Why?

As I am buying a house in 2007, the point is I want my own place, David and I want to set up on our own and we want to do that before getting married, just in case we decide we dislike each other. We eventually do want a family.

Our reasons to move now:
I want freedom, I’ve never lived away from home!! (NEVER!!). I want to live with David and share our lives together doing what we want, when we want and not having to tell anyone what we’re doing!
Want to live together for at least a year before getting married (yes we could change the date of the wedding but he can bugger off I’m not waiting until I’m 30 odd to get married!)
We eventually want to have kids
We want it to be ours and be able to do what the hell we want with the house

Buying a house does not suit everyone and if people are happy renting they should rent, if they want to buy now or later and can afford it, then that’s up to them

As for kids expecting to inherit houses, if my mum wanted to sell up and live in sheltered accommodation in later years and spend the money and whatever then that’s up to her I don’t expect to get anything from the house, if she leaves it to us that’s her decision. But I understand not all people take the same view as me when it comes to that kind of thing.

Basically the reasons to buy a house are personal and will differ from person to person, not everyone should buy a house. We are in the position now where we can afford a mortgage and there is a house we like up for sale. So we’re doing it now
