Sometimes I get super stressed about buying a house, as in I never will. But then I read about people getting their deposits scammed away and I'm kinda okay with being relatively poor lol
I'd feel so so bad if I got scammed out of a $500k deposit, so I'm just gonna enjoy the little things I have that bring me happiness haha
The thing no one tells you is if you buy an established house, everything breaks within the first 12 months. Oven, heater, hot water, itβs a never ending money pit. Being a renter sucks no doubt, but you can always breach a landlord if they refuse to fix shit.
I'd rather that and call it mine, than feel like I'm a roach in someone else's house haha
I'd trade roaches for my rodents. Probably.
