Just be careful about counting the inheretance money and the side checks you get, since they artificially inflate what you think you can afford long term. Also be careful about realistically budgeting (I put $60,000 down, pay less than $800/month for mortgage, own all of our vehicles, don't buy much junk and I still have $3000-$5000 in monthly expenses). Even though things look good now, it doesn't seem like you have settled into a stable role long enough to have a good grasp of your finances. Save up for another year, mark your actual realistic monthly expenses and see if you are coming out on top and by how much.
