Ok so I'll try not to bore you guys but I want some outside opinions.
I live in City A, have lived here my whole life and I don't really like it. My family is here and I'm very close with them, also my ex/baby-daddy is here (he gets our daughter every other weekend). My boyfriend also lives here.
I rent an apartment here and it's affordable but I HATE renting. The building is old and is on the market to be sold, I'm worried the new owner will raise rent and/or kick all the tenants out (yes I am aware of the laws regarding this). ALSO my daughter's daycare is here, it's the ONLY place I can afford to put her in and she HAS to be in daycare since I work full time. She cannot start kindergarten until Fall of 2016, so I'm stuck paying for childcare until then.
I work in City B, which is about a 30 minute drive. I LOVE City B. It's where I want to settle down and grow old and raise my daughter...eventually. I will be moving there as soon as I possibly can.
Houses and rent are quite a bit more expensive in City B, and I can't move there until my daughter goes to school (because of the daycare situation). I LOVE my job and I want to move closer to it, as commuting isn't really ideal.
Again, I HATE renting especially at my current apartment. I'm in a position now that I am able to buy a house. I found a house that I LOVE and the payments would be less than half of what I pay in rent. However, it's in City A.
Basically the question is...should I buy now? Then move later and either sell or rent out the place. OR should I bite my tongue and wait it out at the current apartment and hope nothing bad happens then hope that I can find an affordable place in City B.
The ultimate goal is to end up in City B, but what happens between now and then is up in the air.
