    Bought my house right before the new housing crisis. I’m locked in so cheaply that I may not ever move.

    Gonna ride my residual income as far as I can take it. I’m done breaking my body for a world that doesn’t care.

      My landlord just raised my rent 33% with only two month’s notice so I’m moving back to my parent’s place so I can keep my old rent price. I’m glad they own their house

      Same here. Bought in 2018 which was supposed to be at some all time high. Then refinanced it during COVID with a total monthly payment of $1500 on a 3br2ba house. When we bought the house we thought we were making a dumb decision, now I’m some sort of genius for getting lucky. I can’t imagine trying to rent these days.

      Same. Refi’d into 3% and not going to budge. It’ll be interesting to see if our loan servicer ever changes, because who in the world would want to buy a loan with such a low interest rate?
