My mom proposed that I buy my eldest brother's house last month and I said no. It was heavily discounted and there is nothing wrong with the house but just like you I have lots of "what ifs" going through my mind. It's hard to pick a single reason. I'm just glad I was able to stay firm with my decision despite being pressured by my mom.

I think I'm gonna rent for awhile. I like the freedom of being able to pack my stuff and move elsewhere whenever I want.
