I was the first person in my family to go to college and the first person to ever buy a house.
I bought a house when I was only 25 years old.
I had a really good job and I didn’t want to continue to pay for living in an apartment. My job gave me a sizable sign on bonus and I used it to buy a house. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money and be broke all of the time, so I bought a house that was in a good neighborhood but needed some repairs. My brother works as a general contractor and he told me that he would help me anytime that I needed some help. As soon as I bought the house, he went to the roof to fix a couple of spots that were soft. My brother also helped to clean the chimney so I could use the fireplace. The fireplace is one of the reasons why I bought this house in the first place. It has a beautiful brick surrounding and it looks really nice. The area where the fireplace is located is a great place to set and read a book. The fireplace helps to keep the house warm, but I also have a furnace. When the furnace broke down, that was not a job that my brother could help with. I had to call the local heating company. They sent a young and cute sales guy to talk with me about my furnace options. The cute sales guy also talked me into a smart thermostat.
