I lived in apartments since I was 18, up and down the east coast. After ten years renting and paying through the nose in DC I went to Atlanta and bought a house at 34. Sadly no jobs in my industry so I've moved back to the DC area and I'm renting out my house. The lesson for me was that I should have bought sooner. This house is a nice foundation for myself and it's actually freed my worry to be a little bold, and go where I need to go. I always have that house to go back to if all else fails, so to speak.
