If you have 780+ credit
w/ $10,000 down
You can get a good $300,000 loan for a home.

500 is negligible compared to a down towards a house. what the hell?
If it's really prohibiting you to buy a house, then you can't afford one right now.
You need an absolute minimum $100K/yr combined income to scrap together a crappy home.
You're right... $500 by itself isn't going to put a huge dent into buying a house.Originally posted by: fs5

But what you are missing is that he never said that selling the 360 was make or break for getting the house. Not only that, but if he were to sell the 360 and then do 9 other sacrifices like that, we're talking $5000.
I remember when saving up for our first house, I cut back on eating out for lunch. No, the $8 every now and then didn't put us over the edge for the down payment... It all does add up though.
Like most things in life, it's all accumulative.

I dont need to hock stuff, but it is another unneccessary thing that I could put back into the house. Plus we are getting married next year and I have to fund that too.

His post was about just venting regarding losing the 360... It wasn't about his downpayment. Did you expect his complete financial profile?Originally posted by: Queasy
Yeah, but the OP never mentioned what other expense cutting and saving measures he's taking.Originally posted by: Wingznut

You're welcome.Originally posted by: IrocZman223
At least someone gets what I am trying to do here. And as for eating out, that stopped a long time ago and it does add up.

Looking to buy a house and if we are approved, the 360 might have to go. Kind of sucks, but made a deal with my fiance that as soon as we are married I can use some of the wedding money to buy another one so she doesnt bitch about it when the time comes for me to want another one. Sucks to because I have 2 games, wireless adapter, 1 year of live, the monster cable HD pack, warranty from BB, all that jazz, but it will be worth it to get out of the apartment. I guess I can still use the 7800 thats in my comp to game for the time being. Just wanted to vent a bit.

I hope she is in charge of the bank account and all major decisions.

You all don't realize how little houses cost in Indiana. That $500 could very well be 1% or more of the value of the house.

Even if this is the case, the OP is not financially fit enough yet to think about a house yet.
How in the world do you know that??? Are you really judging his (and his fiancee's) entire financial status based on a single post about his 360??? :roll:Originally posted by: eelw
