I'd add inverse options. E.g. I decided to not buy a house and now I'm regretting it. The reason is rent was cheap in my area. Now it's ~3x the past bank interest. I was creditworthy at all times but chose to avoid unnecessary expenses, lol.
- temp3000 2y agoI don’t regret buying a house but I assumed I would. The great house price crash was waiting for me to buy, so I thought… still it is a shallow win to see others suffering with rent prices.
- wruza 2y agoI was avoiding living on the edge all my life, so it doesn’t hit that hard, but yeah, all housing markets are insane atm. I feel for those who only start living nowadays.
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 2y agoI do regret it, wish I'd bought a condo. Lawns are bogus and I don't need 4 external walls
- thsnyder 2y agoGreat idea! I need to go through my Decisions list and iterate on it.
- bachmeier 2y agoWell, I'm not sure I agree that you can draw conclusions like that if you don't take an action. Or maybe more accurately, it may not help others to know that you regret not buying a house. You're writing based on part of the financial side of the decision. Some people don't like the time and money they have to put into maintenance of a house. Taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs are all rising. Some people are surprised how much they like the freedom of doing what they want with their house. You only learn those things by going through the experience.
