this is what my wife and I did back in April, despite coming very close to not doing so. It wasn't 3 months later and I received a new job offer and actually doubled my income. Now we are remodeling like hell, built a deck, etc and could already turn a hefty profit if we wanted. Best decision I've/we've made was buying an affordable home. Plus, I've learned a lot. I am on first name basis with some folks at Home Depot

Good to hear. It's tough to make the "responsible" decisions when you're young and inexperienced. Congrats.
