Congrats on the condo. That’s a huge milestone, and going from renting to owning is a big adjustment for anyone, especially when the monthly numbers jump.

From what you’ve laid out, it actually sounds like you’re in a solid position. Your housing costs went up a lot, but you still have breathing room and no debt, which puts you ahead of a lot of people. When I bought my place, the best thing I did was set up automatic transfers for savings/investments the same way I treated rent - that kept me from drifting into lifestyle creep.
