Jessi, buying your own land is indeed a good thing to have done, even if you are broke now and have to live in a tent or a cave. I've never regretted spending my inheritance from my mother on my house. It didn't have any plumbing and was really run down (still is but is slowly being fixed up) I've lived in primitive conditions for years but it was mine and so it was ok.
