The way society is setup makes you feel like a failure if you haven’t owned a home by the time you’re in your mid 30’s to 40’s. For the longest I was ashamed to reveal that we were still living in an apartment.
It's always intriguing to me how homeownership culture works in different country. Where I am from, it's pretty much emphasized that one should have a house before they're 30 and some go on mortgage with the help of the family/parents. Some of my siblings and relatives have become a homeowner before they get to 30's usually with the help of their parents . So, in my part of the world, around 26, no home, unmarried is something😂 an the culture about buying property is a lot more straightforward here and without a lot of paperworks.The only thing I learned from my relatives when buying property for long term is definitely the neighborhood and safety of the area.
I am so happy for you!
Whoa!! That's very interesting. So from where you're from they would really be disappointed in me 😅. I couldn't even imagine getting a house back then when I was in my twenties. I could barely keep up with my apartment rent 🤣.
Thank you so much for that tip because that is such an important factor. My mother-in-law has this app that tells you about the crime rates etc. for any neighborhood. We need to definitely be aware about the area we’re moving into. 🤗👌🏽
