A while back, I posted about a friend who bought a house she couldn't afford with her boyfriend. I got an update through the grapevine.
Her house must have been in pre-foreclosure because her parents got it out of foreclosure by loaning her (GULP) 15K. O.M.G. Based on her parents' past drama in college (scary gambling), I seriously doubt they could afford that. But hey, who knows where that money came from.
She got a bit of a raise by doing all the travel and taking suck projects, but she can't afford the house. It will take years or another boyfriend until she can afford the upkeep on the house. I guess until then she'll drag her parents down with her. All that for a house that is too big in too expensive of an area and with too many upkeep costs.
Stories like this make me a proud renter. I am in no rush to buy. And when I do, there is No. Way. I will get ripped off.

Maybe she could rent out rooms or something...figure a way to use the house to bring in a little extra money.
