![]() ![]() Right before COVID-19 hit, my girlfriend and I were actually in a pretty good position to buy a home. People from all over the country moved to Las Vegas because we had such an amazing housing market, but that completely changed. I figured that after I got sober, if I just worked hard enough, I could buy a home as well. I got sober when I was 27 years old, and by this time, many of my peers either bought homes or were in a position to buy homes, and I've been playing catch up.īefore the housing market crashed, many of my friends were getting incredible deals on homes, and their mortgage was often lower than my rent. I was the first person in my family to graduate high school and go straight to college, and I was hoping I'd be the first one successful enough to buy a home as well.Īfter dropping out of college after a semester, my drug and alcohol addiction became much worse, so I missed the housing market boom in the 2000s along with other opportunities in my 20s. My parents never made much money, and they both have terrible credit, so I grew up living in apartments. I grew up lower-middle class, and I was always envious of my friends who lived in nice houses. ![]()
