LI prices are not screwing over a lot of people. LI prices are screwing over you. Instead of borrowing $$ from mom & dad like a child, do something pn your own like an adult to better your situation.
Working on doing things more on my own. Little by little. Most importantly I want to save.

Unfortunately, leasing is the biggest throw away of money there is (and you talk about renting being throwing away money). You are now trapped in a perpetual cycle of auto payments that will last you the remainder of your life (unless you have a large windfall and are able to buy out a lease).
That recurring debt will also count against your debt to income ratio when you are ready to purchase a house.
Since you seem so keen on sharing all of your personal details...what other debts to do have? What's your date of birth? SSN? Come on, we're all buds here
LIQUEST, I congratulate you on your new start and your hopes for the future. It is difficult to get on the right path again and you seem to be headed in a good direction. That said, please do your financial homework before you get yourself in over your head and defeat the purpose of your hard work now. Put the house on hold until either of you are making a better salary and can more easily manage an unexpected problem or consider a cheaper location. All but a few of the LI school districts budgets passed yesterday. That is, at the very least an additional $100 in school taxes on the starter home you are considering. Homeownership is not for those living paycheck to paycheck. I suggest both of you watch the movie The Moneypit for a few laughs.

He's not borrowing. They are giving him the money! I say more power to him. It's better than having wealthy parents who are cheap and just say, "Work, work, work for all you have! Wait until we die until you get any money!"

I have always felt that in order to get answers and to have true conversations people have to be open. Make fun all you wish. Communication and all aspects are important to me.

In 36 months if I'd like to purchase my lease I can do so. That has been talked about by where I leased the car from
A cut through between Carmans Road and Rte 110, Amityville schools.
Save your money.
If you want Massapequa, look for Massapequa School District, or further north into Plainedge School District. I doubt you're going to find anything in your price range in these districts, unless it is a very distressed property.
Good grief -- NO! That's a very busy road AND it is Amityville schools.
