I’ve been mentally preparing to move out in hopes of buying my late grandparents house once things settle with the family, it isn’t a large house and I grew up in it so it would be ideal for me. However, I just found out that electric is now tripling in cost in that area. Making my budget that was already stretched to the edge, likely over the edge meaning I likely can’t afford it any longer.
I just see all the rising costs of everything and it makes me feel so much dread. My wife and I both have good jobs and even then idk how we can afford to live there with all our current bills plus the extras of owning a house. BTW we have lives with her family our entire marriage because we can’t afford to move out.
I’m 30, and need my living own space. My own house to design and do with what I want, I’m tired of asking permission or guidance before I do something since it isn’t my home.
I really want to purchase my family home. I want to be an adult and own my own house/property. It isn’t even that big, 3 bedroom 1 bath with an Attic and no basement. A decent sized yard (about 3-4x the size of the house) which doesn’t seem like it should be much to run, however with Electric, Water, etc rising to ridiculous highs how the fuck is anyone surviving?
TLDR; Been wanting to buy a family home to live in, electricity is being raised 3x the cost, and unsure if this increase plus other cost of living increases lately will allow me to afford it. Even with bringing in decent money. Fucking makes me sad AF and mostly venting. I’m tired of this rat race and I’m only 30.
Fuck!!!
