I'm 26 and just paid off my student loans by working three jobs for four years. I'm exhausted but proud. Now my parents are pressuring me to buy a house because "renting is throwing money away." They've even offered to help with the down payment. Part of me wants to travel for a year while I'm still young and unattached. I've never been outside the country. I've never done anything just for me. But everyone says that's "irresponsible" and I should "build equity." I fought so hard for financial independence. Now I finally have it and everyone wants me to immediately tie it up in a mortgage. Am I being foolish to want adventure before settling down, or am I finally free to live on my own terms? — Finally Free But Feeling Guilty in Fresno
