I'm 29, moved states with no savings a year ago and then met the love of my life. We both work hard, we both want to buy a house more than anything else, but we're already doing everything we can just to make rent. I'm constantly changing jobs due to poor treatment everywhere, I have no degree and have never been able to decide a career – just always get a job. She is a barber.
I'm positive a mortgage wouldn't cost substantially more than we pay for rent, and I even think we can catch our credit scores up (or at least one of them). But how do you earn a down payment? Does anyone have anything that works? She can't work two jobs (fibromyalgia makes the one she has hard enough) and when I get burnt out I become depression incarnate so sustainable options are it.
Trade school? I have no ideas. Sorry for this weird rant I just feel like due to constantly bad working conditions and me having to stupidly stand up for myself I keep getting sent back to square one. Seems ridiculous that two people who make very decent money can't get by.
