I would want THAT protected first. Now, after I am married (whenever), that should be split down the middle, IMHO. Because we have acquired that TOGETHER.
Sisterfriend:
Please don't let that discourage you from buying a home. My home is the best investment I ever made. The one purchase in life I'm truly proud of. Doesn't even compare to cars, furs, diamonds, LOL! I bought my home at 31, been in it 5 years now. I bought it right after my divorce.
Sisterfriend it's hard being head of household, but God has made a way, and I've been able to keep it, and keep it maintained.
I'll hopefully never have to go back to renting. It's so many things you can do with the home once you marry, including staying in it, buying a bigger home, renting it out, etc. If you have the money go for it.
See, Chi...that's why I don't want to purchase a home, so I won't have to go through that ya ya there. Many have said that I can "rent" that home out and move somewhere else. I wouldn't want that hassle. Then, if I rent, that would be MY income, cause my name would be on the "papers", right?
