    You're probably better off saving, in the longer term the smaller your mortgage is the less you'll struggle to live day to day. That's my main concern about getting a mortgage.

    I don't have much patience either, and I'm sick of being my dads secretary, cook and general minder, but unfortunately it's going to be a long time before I can afford to move out. I really must get off of here so I can do some biology before college...
