I just want out because I want out...I want to own and decorate and have a place to call my own. I want to get my life started...and still live near my father.
I just wish I could afford around $250,000. If I could do that - then I could be living in my forever home. I would love to have a 1,600 square foot cape cod. I feel like that would be plenty of room for us.

Having 5.5 folks living comfortably in 1100 sq foot, I see no reason why two can't live in 1000sq foot....
But, how would your father feel about you redecorating his house? Most men I know are not to settled in all their decorations. Of course his room and one other should remain his tastes, but if you do more cooking/entertaining, why not decorate his house?
