I want to buy a house but I dont understand the calculations and I know I can afford . Please someone help me

You need to just take the first step...don't wait.

You might want to check out the www.fool.com. The website name is misleading....it's actually run by people who worked in stock brokerage firms and know who is overcharging and what you need to do.

Always do research, but you need to take the first steps and it normally should just take a few hours to open an 401k with your employer or an IRA/Roth account....I just opened a Roth and it took less than 10 minutes...I'll put money in later and then spend some time every day to study strategy.

I assume you ultimately want to be millionaire, and starting at 21 is great....too many people wait till their 40's and struggle to build income and net worth.
