Me and my girlfriend have been together for 2.5 years. She's smart, beautiful, and funny. The love of my life and I can definitely see us getting married in a few years from now.

Recently we've been looking at getting a house together, and we've already worked out where the money is coming from. My girlfriend's family is very well off, so she'd be paying most of the deposit up front. And then I'd be paying her back in installments, until we were 50/50 on the full price. 

The thing is, my friends and relatives have been telling me it's way too soon, that we're too young, etc. I've gotten into a few shouting matches with people who said we'll probably break up, and that I shouldn't be making such a big financial commitment at this age.

We already live together in an apartment, so I don't think it would be that much different, right? Everything has been  perfect for the last 2.5 years, I don't see why we shouldn't get started on paying off a house, if we're in it for the long haul.

But of course, since so many people in my circle are saying the same thing, I thought I'd ask reddit. What do you guys think?
