It's a stereotype that women flip a switch and go "baby crazy" around my age, which I most certainly am not, but holy fuck, I've really gone house/condo/apartment crazy. I just cannot stop browsing those apps, usually looking at stuff that's too expensive for me... but in some ways, it's kinda fun that it's just a fantasy and I'm not seriously looking. (I *want* to be seriously looking at new apartments, but I can't do that until the end of 2020.)
I didn't do as well as I wanted on my December savings goal because of holiday expenses, but I really, really want to keep at it and buy something for myself in a few years. My family didn't own property when I was a kid, and I'm so sick of the instability and the rent increases. But at the same time, prices here are way over-inflated, and I feel like I'd end up buying a 500 sqft condo for way too much money, and there'd be no way the value could reasonably keep going up, and I'd just get trapped with so much debt for something shitty.
Well, at least I don't have the money for this to be a real decision right now, and I can just keep obsessively scrolling Redfin and laughing at the 4bed/10bath houses with 25 gold-plated chandeliers.
