No. I love my house.
Bought an older house (over 100 years old), and my spouse hated it for months due to how cold it felt (temperature and life). So much more work to do on it than we anticipated (we keep finding things). Previously lived in a modern apartment, and that was far more comfortable.
This is true. An apartment is usually smaller but also a lot less maintenance required.
Heard story of haunted house
Lived through 2008. Know quite a few people who still haven’t recovered. Lost jobs, had to short sell, credit was destroyed, and they still don’t make what they did. But I also know lots more people who have made a ton on housing. Things are likely to go well but can’t say nothing bad would ever happen.
Yep we know people who lost everything.
Yes. Too many repairs. Drained my savings having to fix it. Then got mental burden. Then got pipped because I was always worried about maintaining a house and a yard.
wtf lol - this sounds like cope
Nope. Owning a house is a huge mental burden. I thought I could handle it. I was warned. Didn’t listen. Most of the day I’m thinking about repairs and maintenance
Lost in divorce
I bought a house 15y ago thinking this was the right thing to do for my family. I paid 30% upfront and signed a 15y mortgage. I underestimated the mental burden of a mortgage. Everyone is different but for me it has been difficult to accept that: - I will pay my house way higher than it's value because of the mortgage - high mortgage means I need high TC, means I'm not free anymore and doomed to keep grinding high TC jobs which usually have high expectations. If I had the power to talk to myself 15y ago, I would recommend to not buy. Again, this is very personal, everyone cope differently with mortgage mental burden.
If you get the rug pulled they rob you of your equity. Ask anyone wrecked by 2008
Nope
no
