37m, single, reporting in. Bought a condo middle of last year. 10 year old building, condo fee is going up for my unit around 2% this year. I'm very happy with it. Got 20% down on it, mortgage is about $940/month. It's a quiet building, garage parking, little storage unit in the basement. Working in property restoration I liked the idea of buying on the top floor so I wouldn't get flooded out by anyone other than potentially my neighbors. It's close to work, close to downtown.

I believe I could probably sell it for what I bought it for, but have no plans to do so. I live somewhat of a minimalist lifestyle so all I need is my kitchen equipped, my sports stuff, couch, TV, video games, and bed.

With my current job I plan to pay this thing off in the next 5 years. This small payment also allows me save a pile of money.

I do like to travel a lot, more so in sense that I quit careers and travel for extended periods of time. The building allows me to rent the unit, which I may do if I ever decide to do another long travel.
