You have had enough of your mom telling you to do dishes, or your landlord not fixing the stove that now has one element working, or you are moving to Saskatoon for a job and have decided its time to throw on the grown up pants.
Purchasing your first home is frightening. It's something that seems like everyone should know how to do, like building a camp fire, but no one really teaches you how. Asking for help is tough and unless your sibling or close friend has gone through it recently you are alone.
