| hell if you are going to live with one or two others, they basically will be paying you rent. Alot of Airmen think buying a house is something you can only do when you are older, there are several airman in my squadron under the age of 23 who all own homes ranging from 55k to upwards of 115k (married) I am also E-4 (4yr mark next week) having been the #7 non-selectee for staff this year, and bought my house last year and keep one roomate who is also E-4. It can be done, if you are 6 yr or are sure to re-up, it is very easy to get a home loan. I keep my head above water fairly easily, considering I still owe just under 3k on my Z, have a small student loan I am paying on, and borrowed 3500 on recarpeting and bigscreen TV (I couldnt help myself) which I am paying on for 3 more months. Sure I cant mod my Z at a moments notice and unplanned repairs seriously screw me out of beer money. But I manage just fine and have never been late or not paid any sort of bill. You have to be responsible enough to budget yourself though. Feel free to email me if you have any questions, but trust me if you are in less debt than I am (not counting my house) you should pocket that BAH (and your roomates')and buy a house PS my BAH at tinker is 505 plus 255 BAS should be close to the same as yours yes?
