Man, there is a LOT of logical answers here for such young guys! A few of us older farts remember how we just HAD to have this or that, just in time to find out that we were just buying fluff. Even if you don't buy a house, at least buy some dirt! A vacant lot appreciates, a car depreciates. If you can find a dumper of a house, buy it, keep it, learn about plumbing, wiring, drywalling, and spend a few bucks a week upgrading the place; even paint is a cheap investment, particularly if you learn about prep.

In this day and age, your $2500 credit card debt would get you into a really crappy house... Learn, cubscout, do your office job while you dream today about what you are going to do to the the house tonight!
