I’m at that stage in life where several of my friends are buying houses and condos.
New condos are everywhere around downtown and interest rates are low, but I’m not convinced. Would I really want a condo by the mills?
A house just seems like a bad investment. Sure, the mortgage may be as much as our rent, but we don’t have to pay homeowners insurance, property taxes or worry whether the roof needs replacing.
If I bought a house I guarantee the roof would give out and pipes would implode on the third day.
Maybe a condo will seem like a more attractive idea once I’m further in my career and able to pay off all of my student loans. Renting will do for now.

The biggest spendthrifts also tend to sit on the HOA boards.
