If I was married - it would be much simpler. Unfortunately - in all likelihood - I will either never marry or be married around 40. Buying a house to set down some roots when you're single, changing jobs every 1-2 years, and have friends spread apart in a sizable geographical area... well, not the best idea or easiest decision to make. Especially when none of the houses I can afford are the ones I want.
