    We just did the same thing, it’s crazy. How can rent be SO EXPENSIVE, when, now that we finally got into a house, our payment is only a few hundred more, but we’ve tripled our square footage, and we have a garage, and a little bit of land. It’s crazy.

    That payment includes insurance and taxes too. Wild.

    Granted house upkeep takes money, and effort. But still.

      Right? But you can do those projects and know you own the thing. And if you can save for a down payment, you can set money aside for those projects along the way as well.
