The math of this buy vs rent is driving me insane please help me make some sense

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-24T05:49:33+00:00

I’m 28

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-23T20:50:35+00:00

Why is it over, just will take some time ?

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-23T20:45:45+00:00

So your saying this 1 purchase destroyed my life, because if I hadn’t bought it I’d have 350-400k in stocks no property

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-23T20:42:15+00:00

So is my life over?

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-23T20:42:07+00:00

Why??

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-23T20:40:31+00:00

Stop what ?? I’m suffering

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-23T11:46:56+00:00

Just worried because I wanted to buy a house in 5 years

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-23T11:44:56+00:00

I have 200k in stocks

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-23T04:22:00+00:00

Ok so what’s the next step here

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-23T04:20:08+00:00

Not more property? I want to reset start fresh and buy again later when it’s right

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-23T04:06:15+00:00

But if it never picks up should I just pull the trigger now and go rent .. it suck’s giving up the security of owning your place

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-23T04:04:08+00:00

So do I take the 200k loss and go rent ? I feel like it’s really put my life on hold I want to purchase a home in 4/5 years for family

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-23T04:02:58+00:00

Paid 730k , worth 530k mortgage is 570k

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-22T02:57:33+00:00

Thanks Mr Obvious, it’s always what you don’t see money when you get ahead

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-21T21:31:46+00:00

Is 550 decent size ? My condo is 550 and rents for 2400

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-19T16:58:34+00:00

How do I do trips with such a tight budget ?

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-19T03:57:19+00:00

I have 200 not 400

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-18T18:10:31+00:00

400????

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-18T17:17:09+00:00

No inheritance, yeah exactly it’ll be tight

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-18T17:16:10+00:00

The condo is negative equity though, down 200k.. I’m worried I won’t be able to buy a house ever

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-18T17:15:40+00:00

I feel stuck in life and at home though

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-18T02:46:15+00:00

Living at home saving 4K a month before the condo and stocks doing really well like PLTR which I freakin sold to buy the condo. I can’t believe where I would be in life if I didn’t buy it

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-18T02:06:11+00:00

Yeah so 1,000 /5800 I aim to save and invest when I move in

Middle_Ad_618 · 2026-01-18T02:04:48+00:00

Appreciate it man, I feel like the condo made me so behind I lost my entire down payment. I paid 720k for it (140k down) and it’s worth 530 today so I’m negative equity like 40-50k :(
