Understood. Based on your response, it seems that you might not be fully prepared for the additional costs and responsibilities associated with homeownership at the moment.
Given the information you have provided so far, considering the high housing prices, affordability concerns, limited savings, and potential job instability, it may be prudent to consider renting for now. Renting offers flexibility, as you won't be tied down to a specific property, and it allows you to allocate your savings towards other financial goals or build a stronger emergency fund.
However, it's essential to continue saving for the future and regularly reassess your financial situation. As your circumstances change and you build a more substantial savings cushion, you can revisit the idea of homeownership in the future.
Remember, this advice is based on the information provided, and it's always beneficial to consult with a financial advisor who can consider your specific circumstances and provide personalized guidance.
