Homeowner Struggles
I had to have the water turned off this evening because of a broken pipe under the house. I'll get a plumber, hopefully first thing tomorrow. Isn't life wonderful?

I do not technically own the house I live in.
I know this though - people think it is SO great to have home ownership but there are just as many drawbacks. They talk about equity but then that equity eventually goes to pay for things like major repairs anyways.
No matter how someone slices it, we are going to be paying through the nose our entire lives to live somewhere whether renting or "owning" a house.
Then once the house is paid off and we retire, our savings and profits from the home sale get hoover'ed up by the retirement home we move to.

@Spoiledbrat mortgage changes every time it's due for renewal, or every payment if you have a variable rate

@Justafantasy I don't know anyone who has a variable rate but it doesn't go up tge way rent does. You can pay it off.

@Spoiledbrat if I could pay it off I would, mine isn't variable as I like stability

@Justafantasy I'm sorry if you're having trouble but I meant it can be paid off. Not like rent. Rent is forever.
