An example: for me, I’d happily go into debt to travel, or make sure my son has a good education.

    Man, if I could’ve purchased a house in 2013 I would’ve. I was graduating high school though lol

      I know I was super lucky. I look at home prices today and what it would take for me to get there and just shake my head.

        I’ve given up. The interest rates are ridiculous, and home prices where I want to live (anywhere in the western USA pretty much) are insanely inflated.

          There are some deals to be had, but you’re buying in high crime and impoverished areas or in rural areas and you have to hope development will follow.

      Even if I could’ve bought in 2019 I’d have been happy, but silly me was prioritizing paying off other debts rather than saving for a down payment. Damn pandemic.
