It's possible to hire a skilled financial planner especially if you're not one yourself. I hired one after my retirement pension took a hit in April due to the crash. The planner devised a defensive strategy that protected and profited from my portfolio during this red season. I've made over $250k since then.

You have to manage expectations. I built my first house, nearly 3000sq ft, in 2021 at the age of 29. But my wife and I also had to get real adult jobs with responsibilities to pull it off.

My home value has gone up dramatically in the past year. I had been thinking of selling my home and buying a smaller home but there aren't any smaller homes in my area. I like my house so I'll just keep it for the time being. My home is my only debt. It's about 25% of my income.

You can save and work hard to get it one day, the right way. And when another collapse happens, which will be inevitable, you can swoop in line a vulture and save big.

[@thedude5040]

@TheAcesShow there won't be another collapse for awhile. Don't get someone's hopes up for something that is not even fundamentally supported by today's economy. The only collapse that could happen is a treasury default on the national debt, but even then housing inflation is caused from a shortage of houses, thus a housing crash won't happen

I disagree on the house poor point : better to be mortgage-poor than rent-poor ! Here in Montreal, monthly rents have, over the past 5 years, far exceeded mortgage payments. Basically, rents will follow real estate trends anyway and rent money is money you will never see. The longer you wait to buy, the more real estate gets expensive. With real estate, yesterday is always better than today. I bought in 2019 - had I waited longer, I wouldn’t have been able to !

Actually renting cost more than mortgage repayments. Let's just your rent weekly is $520, that's $2080 monthly give or take. In the end it's not your property, no money in it for you. On the other hand let's just say $250000 mortgage is around $800 to $1000 monthly repayment. In the end you can sale your property at around $300000 to $350000.

This is a pretty good example of why I usually don’t like weddings(besides someone is getting married and I’m not).

In marriage, you have to move in with someone, share everything, make life plans together, and adjust to living with someone who may not be who you thought they were. Why are you making this extremely complicated change in your life more difficult than it already is?
