Yes the world is getting harder everyday but yes It's all still a choice for now.

Do you think I wanted to up root my entire life? Move 7 hours away from where I grew up? Leave all of my friends and family? To live 30 minutes away from the city where I don't know anyone? I didn't in case that isn't clear. But this was the only path forward to getting out from under someone's thumb with rent.

I had to use a credit card to pay for moving, it took 4 years to pay that off.

My down payment was pathetic so I will pay PMI for a long time.

It's not all rainbows and sunshine. The people who own homes are struggling too. Most people are struggling these days.
