I’ve always wanted a house. Grew up with family that had a mindset to own property/land by the time they retire.

I’m 19 and have 24K across multiple type of accounts and have set up an emergency fund that fits my liking, if that matters.

I have read that is up to the individual person to assess their risk tolerance. I wouldn’t buy a house at this current moment, but I would start to save up and deviate some or most of my money towards that goal, instead of investing it. I do have the VA loan available to use it.

I might make it into a rental property or rent rooms out but owning a house doesn’t leave my mind just like investing did throughout high school.
