I don't care that they're different than me, I just know, in my heart of hearts, that ppl like this are the average sheeple, financially illiterate idiots that have allowed an irresponsible financial institution to give them an idea of getting into loads of debt with other ppl.

I like the rule "don't buy real estate with ppl u don't sleep with", that includes family, friends, it will end badly, but that story will never be in the papers
I don't want to expose too much of her personal life, but yeah she got engaged to the guy after a few months of dating...But hey when you know, you know, right? No investments or anything, and as far as I know they were previously renting.

I just think there's a crap ton of risk, and zero upside aside from the illusion of "Oh there's four of us, that gives us a break on the cost." Maybe I shouldn't talk though, I bought my own place on my own. I'm waiting for 4444 to call me a dum dum, haha.
