Living the dream right there. See? It's totally doable if you skip the avocado toast and stop buying the latest model phone and going out so often, or at all.

    Do you really "own" your home if you have a mortgage?

    Her team helped her get all of that sorted out and helped her figure out how much she needed to save to make a $12,000 down payment on a $300,000 home.

    With a 30 year mortgage and average current interest rates, that's like a $2200 monthly payment give or take taxes and insurance. I feel bad for this person as ownership is tenuous at best. The downpayment is basically a 6 month deposit.

    We shouldn't need to be getting mortgages in our 70s...or ever. Goddamn just let people live.
