My friend just got a brand new house.. and I feel like a loser because I am still in an apartment.
It is nice to have your own place. Think about just being able to do whatever you want. You can just punch your walls if you want.
I can't though I live in a 1 bedroom apartment.  Cries...
It's ok just think about it this way. You don't have to pay property taxes or even be worried about your lawn.
