Where Do I go from here?!?

Question

Before I turned 18, I was so determined not to end up like the others in my family (broke), so i started saving up my money. & that led to me getting a nice car. & once I finally turned 18 I bought a foreclosed home & i've been doing that every since. I also have worked part time at a local hospital doing medical billing work.

So now I'm coming up on my 19th birthday, and I am really not sure where I want to go from here!?!!? The money is good, but Real Estate is stressful.

Also, my boyfriend wants a baby. I'm not ready for that yet. Love kids, and all though I make good money I still want to live life before I experience that.

So if anyone has any advice please feel free to comment!!! thanks

Answer 1

You shouldnt let anyone talk you into doing anything before youre ready.

Answer 2

i think if you are not ready and you no your not then dont do it. it would be a big mistake just to do it because he wants to. i think you should live your life if that is what you want travel enjoy your life you only get one do what YOU want with it not what others want and if he will not except it and he is probably not the one for you

Answer 3

Use your money on investing and travelling!

You are young and can see the world!

Lucky you! but yes save for the future as well,.. what about studying abroad?

Don't have babies yet, you are too young!

Answer 4

Listen to your Head!

you are already living avery full life at 19!! Wow what a achievement

Dont blow it all now and become pregnant/unwed - you have a CHOICE, If your BOYFRIEND wants a baby   then let him go now !

you are tooo young and have a full life,Stay single until you meet the right MAN who will add to your life, What does he bring into this picture is he stable/working?  has a bank account   GOOD CREDIT ?

if not  then send him out ( does he live with you and pay you rent ?

GET A FULL TIME JOB AND KEEP YOUR HOUSE-you can downsize if you want but ----you will always need a place to live!!      

You may never get another chance to be a homeowner !! you are in a great position....dont blow it now- WORK HARD, SAVE $$  and meet someone with Goals in their life - one day you will be a mom and it will be great to bring up your child in a house and give it what it needs Married parents, stable parents/stable home!

Good Luck - if the mortgage is too hared then get a roomate share costs if your boyfriend is freeloading off you the kick him to the curb(trash pickup is once a week )  

Answer 5

It sounds like you're doing great -- you're on your way to financial stability and you've got a good head on your shoulders.  You and your boyfriend might have conflicting interests... you need to analyze your goals and determine what is best in the long run.  Do you want to be an unwed mother at nineteen?  Or do you want to go to college and pursue a high-salary career before settling down with more monetary security?  What I would recommend to you is getting a business degree -- I've said this a lot before, and it's true: you will never regret having an education.  And you can take a business degree anywhere.  Good luck!

Answer 6

If your asking for advice on whether or not to have a child, then no. Wait until you have experienced everything you want to. Wait until you can enjoy your 21st birthday, and get married, and have girls nights out with your girlfriends. Trust me, having a baby is amazing, and you sound like you will be a great mom when your ready. There is no need to rush.
