I think you should dump him immediately and start dating me! Jeez! A new car! A new house! All the sex he can handle! And for all of that he doesn’t even have to make any commitment to you?!!! No marriage, nothing! What a lucky guy!
I would slow down a bit… make sure you are not used by this guy
I assume from the above that you are on at least $200,000.00 a year salary ??
If you are not on $200,000 a year salary then you are living in Cuckoo Land.
Beware as there is a major slowdown coming for the US economy.
Ty- take a deeeeeeeeeeep breath! New love is exciting, isn’t it?
That being said, please use wisdom (especially when it comes to your finances).
You and your boyfriend can find a place to rent for right now, you want to get a feel for whatever area you’re going to live with him.
What if you buy a house and the area is not desireable? Look for places that are kid friendly, good school system and safe.
It takes time to research a home you’re going to buy if you do it the right way (look at the property taxes also). Since you are planning on a family, start saving NOW. Kids are expensive! I have an 18 month old and it is CHA-CHING.
Start saving now. Start out wise, plan, talk openly with your boyfriend about your future, WRITE THINGS DOWN (such as goals, milestones, setting money aside for all the $$ you’ll spend on diapers, formula, baby clothes, day care expenses, unexpected fevers and well baby visits, shots, taking time off work, etc).
Good luck, be smart!
