Work part time and be able to save enough to buy a house in two to three years

or

work full time and be able to save enough to buy a house in one year?

I think it would depend on the lifestyle I could choose after we buy the house.

Probably no matter what though if both options worked the same for our lifestyle I would choose the part time and two to three years.

I guess it depends on what my current living situation was.  If I was somewhat happy with where I lived, I'd do PT, and get that house in 2-3 years.

If I was living in a dangerous area or something where I didn't feel safe anymore or something, then I'd think I'd move quicker.

I'll be the PITA who says C - work full time for 2 - 3 years so that I could afford the house AND a substantial nest egg. One, so that you could keep the option of going part time if you wanted to down the road, and two, because house ownership is way expensive.

This, or if you want more kids and your current spot is too small, do the quicker option.

I would work full time and get the house sooner. We currently rent and I am growing to hate it.

Well, this is tricky. Do you like working? I'll work full it e for the rest of my career, but just because I like it 

i know, I'm being a pain in the azz. Is this just a temporary thing so you can get moving on a new house? Then I'd bite the bullet and work full time - if it was me and the end goal was getting into a house.

Full time, but I already work full time...
