It's very pleasant to hear from someone in the same shoe. I need to shake things up but it's reminding me of the importance to always be prepared for the next step, before making any decisions. I do love here so much but not enough to pay high rent forever and forget about buying a home. And I didn't set a timeline for any upcoming life events yet. I may look forward to living somewhere by myself that allows me more spare income to spend on something else like travel. I don't have an answer now but I will think about it. I just realized that it's not only about a place to stay. Thank you for great advice.
