My parents once asked me why I didn’t have enough savings to buy a house yet.
I almost lost my shit.
LOL when my father asked me how much savings I had, I immediately knew that our life experiences were vastly different.
I’m 35, and if you squint a bit at the mortgage, I “own” home. With my partner. And we’ll be paying it off for another 27 years. And we’re the lucky ones of this generation.
Buying a home with saving, fucking lol
Pay off over 15 years if you can or you’ll pay about double the total value just from interest.
I do like that theory. Unfortunately my wallet disagrees with it. Thankfully we’ve locked it in for 2.2% for 20 year, and semi-realistically we should be able to pay it off before that runs out. But the official period is 30 years, since that’s the legal maximum.
To keep your sanity you just have to lower your expectations.
I, for example, am really stoked for the burrito I ordered. Fuck, it’s good to be alive.
I’m stoked about having learned how to repair PCs in my last 6 hour hyperfixation, and then actually fixing two PCs.
Oh man, that’s the good shit right there! Ride that dopamine wave.
i found a bagel place that’s really good.
they have one that I didn’t expect to like and it has become my regular breakfast. Balsamic vinegar tomato mozzarella and basil, a caprese salad in a bagel.
They tell you that the sky might fall
They’ll say that you might lose it all
So I run until I hit that wall
Yeah I learned my lesson, count my blessings
Look to the rising sun and run run run
