Trying to determine if I pursue homeownership or if I need more in savings.

Hi everyone,

I(27f) was recently approved for a mortgage loan at 400. My loan is a bit unique because I started an I-099 contract this year so the mortgage officer is doing a combination of business income + personal pay stub. I need to put down 15% for this loan.

I have roughly 60k in savings right now. After closing costs, the down payment I’m pretty much using everything to my name.

I have no debt, but obviously will have little financial security. How much would you recommend I have left in savings after purchasing?

Looking for realistic advice. This would my first home.

How do you navigate getting ignored from a friend!

Hey everyone! Long story short I’ve (26f)been friends with this girl (26f)for about 7ish years. She’s always had a history of never responding/waiting months to get back to me.

She’s a nurse, so she would say she was burnt out and didn’t use her phone which I totally understand (my mom is a nurse)

But as if the last two ish years, I’ll text her and won’t get a response for weeks/months BUT she actively posts on social media, Snapchat… so obviously she’s on her phone.

I wouldn’t mind a week, but a month? Two months? I decided to take a step back and start communicating like her. It only took 3 months for her to totally flip out on me, calling me a bad friend etc.

I couldn’t wrap my brain around how it’s okay for her to be bad at communicating, but I can’t be?

I brought this to her attention about a year ago in a nice manner. She basically blew me off but I was hoping she’d reflect on it over time… nope.

I want to add I would have classified her as one of my best friends and I was under the impression that she viewed me that way too.

Has anyone dealt with something similar? How did you move forward?
