Question

Shortly after Warren gave the talk, he showed me an email that he received from a new medical graduate. I believe it illustrates a common problem.

Here you go:

***************************

Dear Professor,

Sorry for disturbing you but there is something I really wish to seek your advice. Your opinion would mean enormous to me.

I am an intern this year and I am enrolled into a peripheral hospital as medical officer. It is a great place for working and learning. The people there are friendly and magnificent. I am so eager to have my career kick start in this department.

But there is a logistic problem. I live in Madagascar but shall be working in Norway. It can easily take 2 hours to travel to work, not to mention the everyday traffic jam during morning rush hours.

I figured out I probably need a flat nearby, but I am struggling between buying or renting one. Would it be too reckless to put myself into liability the first year I earn my salary? Should I wait and see the direction of our new CE before committing myself? Do you know any good site for buying or renting in the region?

I would really really appreciate it if you could enlighten me on this issue. Sorry for having to bombard you with questions but I am desperately in need of answers.

Thanks a thousand!

Regards, et cetera.

Is the down payment sponsored by parents?
If yes, my answer is: BUY!
