You’re so right. It’s not my preference, but it’s funny how I feel at peace not rushing into buying something. Thank you for your well wishes and such valuable perspective.
I've been a homeowner for over 23 years. My mortgage is paid off. We're thinking about living overseas. If we do, we will sell the house and rent. I'm excited about leaving home ownership and renting. Less responsibility, more flexibility. You are not going backwards. You are choosing more freedom.
I felt every word of that, and I appreciate you sharing here. It’s not an admission I hear often, but I have similar beliefs about owning a home, which is why it’s important to stay below my means no matter what happens. Freedom, flexibility and fixed costs sound just fine to me.
No shame in being a renter. Leverage and tax breaks are great but only if it makes sense for you and your money in the moment.
Absolutely! Plus, the real benefit that I anticipate will come from this is priceless. I hope to be able to share very soon!
So happy to hear. House hunting on even a mild time crunch concerning. Such a great reframe of your mindset. Fingers crossed the move goes smoothly.
You’re so right. It’s not my preference, but it’s funny how I feel at peace not rushing into buying something. Thank you for your well wishes and such valuable perspective.
