Housing is incredibly expensive with seemingly no hope of going down, and going back to college and adding 20,000 dollars of debt per year also seems like a bad bet if I can't get a really high paying job out of it. I have a good job, but it just doesn't pay enough to have a a large house and family.
I had a roommate from Kazakhstan who said that most people lived in apartments (and most of the old world, I think, because of population density). I was thinking, wouldn't it be more feasible if America figured out what the rest of the world learned already and build more economically and environmentally friendly types of living like apartments and condos for owning instead of renting?
I stayed in a really nice apartment in New Orleans, and there was plenty of room and you couldn't hear the neighbors. I feel like people get big houses and either have a bunch of rooms they never use or fill with junk. I grew up in a typical American house, but we used all the space because my grandparents and aunt lived with us.
My biggest worry is that my mother told me no woman would want to marry me unless I owned a house, and she also wouldn't be happy if I had other relatives living with us. So I feel a bit doomed to be alone.

What Girls Said
First and foremost, I would never ever marry. I love my single life and my celibacy way too much to want to ruin them by being with someone that places me under pressure to do something I don't want or to "motivate" me to a number of acts I despise.
If I was forced into being in a relationship with someone, then it would only be with a person that is not a house owner. The reason for it is simple.
As a home owner, you have so many obligations while someone that rents an apartment has only to lock the door when he/she leaves on vacation. No lawn to mow, no garden to take care of, a much higher risk of being robbed during the absence, no maintenance to take care of.
There are only disadvantages to be a home owner. I know because I grew up in such a place.
I forgot to mention, this would have to be a rented apartment and not an owned one. I am totally against ownership.
Being into loud music, that would be awkward.
Sure, why not?
