Lately, I've been flirting with the idea of buying a house in Lubbock. I used to worry that if I actually bought a home here, I would end up stuck here forever or something, but after spending an exorbitant amount of money on rent for the past couple of years, a low mortgage payment doesn't sound too bad.

I added up how much I spend on rent each year, and it made me nauseous. It costs me a whopping $14,880 a year to have a nice 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom rental house in a safe neighborhood in Lubbock.

I like my house, don't get me wrong, but that seems a little bit high for a single person with no kids. My cats literally have their own bedrooms, which is pretty dumb. I've really just got to suck it up and just buy a damn house, or I'll be stuck in this cycle forever. Instead of paying off my own mortgage, I've been paying off a house that belongs to someone else. How ridiculous is that?

I digress...

Anyway, here are some homes on the market in Lubbock for $200k or less, in case you need a little motivation to take the plunge and buy a house in the hub city. It sure seems like it will beat the hell out of paying crazy rent!
