Scary at first, I hare any sort of debt, but I’m about 7 years into it now and I seemed to have gotten in at just the right time, so I’m thankful at how relatively low my mortgage is. I’ve just gotten used to having the debt now. I don’t even think about it in the long-term, to be honest. As long as I can hit my rent every month, that’s all I’m worried about. Paying it off will happen eventually, right before I die I’d guess.
It’s a pain having to constantly maintain stuff, but it’s been an education learning how to fix shit up around the place, one youtube video at a time. So many helpful people out there recording themselves fixing every random-ass thing possible.
