I'm coming up on 27 too.. in less than 6 months.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

I turned 24 last December. My girlfriend is *****ing at me telling me I need to buy a house when I'm 25 because she doesn't want to be with someone who rents at 26. FREAKING WOMAN! If she wasn't so fun and sexy with filthy rich parents I would dump her ass. :argh:

I have it so good but so... Me me me (her) at the same time. :/

Got a permanent feather in my cap;
Got a stretch to my stride;
a stroll to my step;

yeah, that seems like a pretty unrealistic expectation for her to have of you. Many people choose to rent over owning a home.

Maybe leave this article lying around somewhere she can find it.

Of key interest:

"Owners don't pay the landlord, but they pay taxes and maintenance costs on their house, and Gyourko says those costs can end up being roughly the same."

"As far as buying a house as a smart long-term investment, Gyourko says that's not always true. He says between 1975 and 2008, the price for houses of similar quality and size appreciated an average of about 1% per year after inflation. Investors could have earned more by buying Treasury bills."

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
