we deserve a house?

My husband and I are moveing in this 3 BR 1Bath room house with Cntrl. H/A.We are renting it for 700 a month which is 200 more than where we are.We have two kids and we want them to be in a nice house in a good neighborhood,plus with the gas going high the house is only 5 min. away from his work.Our landlord is in real estate and we are hopeing to buy the house from her.But our family thinks we should find something cheaper,which are in a bad neighborhood or very run down.Its not fare my mom has a very nice house,and her family has given her a total of 8,000 dollars to remodel it.His parents bought a double wide trailer house for 800 a month,and we where happy for them,and my bf and her boyfriend bought a house and everybody is getting married.Why doesn't it feel like nobody wants us to get this house like we doesn't deserve something so nice cause of the price,we can afford it.What do I tell our friends or family what they should do with there opinion.

  1. Tell them to hand over the money and you want it in cash. Since they think they they should tell you what to buy, they should have no problem financing it for you.
  2. duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Tell them when they start paying for your living expenses they can have an opinion but now as you are paying your own way to keep their opinions to themselves.
  4. dont tell them anything do what is best for your family/kids...rent shouldn't be no more than what you bring home on a one week pay,you follow that rule and you'll be ok as long as you can budget well,be happy...
  5. Moving into a house with the hopes of buying it later on is the wrong thing to do. If the landlord wants to eventually sell the house you should work out a deal, up front, to apply some of the rent to a down payment or have a time limit on your renting. Rent with the option to buy should be a paper transaction, not a handshake one. You sound like you have a lot of envy in your post. Just maybe everyone else has a clearer picture than you do. Also, your first sentence said a lot to me. You don’t DESERVE a house, you EARN the right to own a house. Sometimes parent’s advise seems harsh but is loaded with experience and good will towards their children. Take it some tmes.
  6. Tell them to keep their opinions to themselves.They won't be paying your rent. Better still,say nothing and just move.You and your husband know what you can afford to pay and that is all that matters.It is no one else's concern. Sometimes people state their opinion without even thinking about what they're saying.Hopefully they just want what is best for you and don't mean to hurt your feelings. You all deserve a nice house and your children deserve a good neighborhood.Enjoy your new home.
  7. Girl my advice for you is simple don't let anyone tell you what you should or should not do. If your family deserve to get a house and you can afford it then go for it don't wait any longer. I understand your parents that they want you to get something cheaper. But I say if the house is going to be in a bad environment then it is not worth getting a house cheaper. Sometimes you need to pay higher to get something in good quality. So girl listen to your instant and when it comes up with your parents and friends with their opinion you simply talk to them and tell him that you appreciate there opinion but that you are going to follow what your heart tells you too and that you need their support at all times. so girl I wish you good luck
  8. I would tell them that you know they mean well but some how their well meaning is getting lost in the translation. Tell them that you have faith that you will make the payments of this house and that if for some reason it begins to get a little tight around the belt that you are willing to give up anything so that you don't have to come to anyone for help. Tell them you have faith in your ability to do what is best for you and your family and that all good things cost money and that you want the best that you know you could afford. Tell them that even if your wrong that you are only for all your loved ones to cheer you on, tell them you love them but if they cant cheer for you then if they could please not tell you how they feel since that would only bring you to feel as if they were not cheering for you. Make sure you tell them that you love them very much and that you plan on proving you can do this. Don't let anyone stop you from this purchase, No one at all.
  9. Don't buy anything until you are sure you can afford it. So many people are buying above their means these days and really paying for it later.That said, if you can afford it, it's noone else's business where you live. Tell them nothing more than "I appreciate your input" Don't start a fight or tell them to mind their own business- you'll just be escalating things
