After looking, i’m honestly so turned off on buying a home anytime soon. The numbers make zero sense. Okay, I don’t think the market is going to crash 40% like /rebubble thinks and you’ll be upside down for a decade. But after looking, the numbers literally make zero sense. Me and my wife have 20% for a downpayment saved and 70k left over saved (170k saved overall) for purchasing a home. So we can afford it. But it makes zero financial sense. I’…

Buying a house in Costa Rica, seems sketchy… I have toured a house for sale in Costa Rica, the agent on the sign says that they do a private mortgage, with a contract where we have a payment schedule with previous owners, but no bank mortgage involved.

Advice on buying a house in my early 20’s So I’m about to be 24 and have a professional job making about 52k a year pre tax in a pretty LCOL area.

Is the Sony RX100 VII worth buying over a smartphone that has a 1” sensor? Even if it’s hundreds of dollars more expensive? I’m looking to buy a new portable camera for some travel that I have coming up. I’ve narrowed it down to the Sony RX100 VII or similar. The thing is, it’s $1300 near me.
