I was wondering if it makes me too much like the prodigal son to ask my dad if I could have some of the money that he would have saved for a wedding for me to use on a house instead. I have no idea how he'd respond.
It's discouraging to think of the years of trying to live conservatively and still not be able to afford it on my own. I've had a masters level job for the last 5 years, I've never had credit card debt, I don't have cable, I buy clothes at Ross, and mostly live a simple, Target-style life. The lender says I still need a roommate. I'm avoiding my realtor now.

it seems to me that being the prodigal is the point...isn't it? though i do hope that if that money is given, the hope for a wedding is not given up.
We bought our house with zero down...not the best idea by a lot of people's considerations, but it was the only way we could swing it. Is that a possibility?? SUrely, as a new homeowner, there are some deals out there? How about a new realtor??
Good point, my friend. Money for a house sounds like a great idea. Concerns for the wedding will come later. Go for it! Great post.
