Financial planner: I spend more time talking young people out of buying houses than anything else

At the end of 2015, certified financial planner Alan Moore shared his 11 best pieces of financial advice with Business Insider.

Among them: Don't buy a home.

...

The truth is that everyone's financial situation is different, and the decision whether to buy or rent a home has a considerable emotional component. If you're considering it, take a look at smart questions to ask before you buy, and read a financial professional's advice on how to be unfailingly logical about your choice.

Okay, thanks for the financial advice mumbles fuck, I'll make sure to take it under advisement. Can you please link me to a few more articles that would be useful? Thanks so much!
To be frank, here is some advice related to buying a house: If you buy one retail but actually don't need to buy it to keep your significant other happy enough with you to keep giving you head (and other sexual pleasurings), you're a sucker.

To avoid being a sucker, buy a financially distressed property (e.g. through a sheriff sale or finding one turned back to the bank, and you can hunt down the property manager at the bank who handles the disposition of such properties). I did so at a sheriff sale in 2004, and upon closing a month after the auction, had $30-$40k in equity in a house in a decent suburban development that I paid less than $150k, for including closing costs. And did so using only about $30k of savings, most of which I would have been able to pull out immediately with a HELOC.

But watever you decide, good luck with that.
