So I’m 25 and got couple thousand saved up this guy friend coworker asks so what you planning on doing with the money you fixing on buying a house?

[Anonymous]

Like I personally hate it when people ask me this I get uncomfortable like why would I buy a house if I’m single, and if I do end up buying a house what imma live happily alone? Bc I’m single like how would you react as a female

As long as you are single, you will be alone whether you live in an apartment or your own house. But owning a house will give you several financial benefits that you won't have with an apartment, and will impress many guys with your level of maturity and responsibility.

Is that what yo think he meant by that

[Asker]

Bc his not the only one who asked if I’m planning on buying a house

[OlderAndWiser]

For many people, the first experience with substantial savings comes when they need to save money for a down payment on their first house.

Just deflect with a vague, "Oh, I figured I should just have some money on hand - just in case I need it", and then change the subject. But, you really don't owe ANYone an explanation.

Thanks for the MHO.

If you don't want people to know your business, then you don't tell them your business and they won't ask about it.

Like why do you go to work telling everyone your personal life? It's so foolish. You know they're going to gossip about you and make you feel awkward at work. You're there to work share your business with everyone go.

Go to a therapist they get paid by the hour to listen to your life story.

I don’t tell they be tryin to get into my business

Why does your coworker know how much money you have? Your goal should be to have about 6 months of expenses in liquid assets.

[Asker]

He tried to guess about how
Much I have and probably so I can confess how much I really do have bc he mentioned how
Much he has or had befor

I would start a tax sheltering retirement investment account if you have money just parked in your savings.

[jahaims]

Why buy a house? For an investment. Living alone isn't weird.

I wouldn't told him "I'm getting gender re-assignment surgery" if I were you. Bet you that ends the conversation pretty quickly.😆
