I managed to buy a small house during the weird financial stuff going on during covid. As much as this gif is accurate, I like it better than renting.

I have a mortgage, which we like to call "owning" but is really me renting-to-own from the bank.

I vastly prefer this to just renting. At least a portion of the money I spend on housing is going towards something I will eventually own (20+ years from now).
