Many people in this situation now.
 

what’s the best solution for such people?

my ideas:

1. Keep 6mo buffer and invest rest in stock market

2. When market recovers start paying off mortgage until mortgage payment comes to 40% of monthly paycheck

3. Start investing amounts beyond that

big risk is obviously if economy goes down much further then this plan would suck

Reditt lo post

 

My husband and I purchased a home in a hcol area on Sept 2022 and I feel stuck every day since then. Here is why:

  1. We put 20% down payment which was about 80% of life savings. Now we have about 6 months of living expenses worth of money left

  2. We are paying about 60% of our combined income. So if one of us loses their job then we will be eating out of pocket. Right now the remaining 40% is enough to live by but not really possible to put money aside.

  3. Im not loving the home but I dont hate it either. It is livable. It requires some work but we put most of it off because we dont have enough money.

  4. Im really worried about the recession. I think the house will lose its value and we will lose our lifesavings or stuck in this home for 15 years or so. We planned to stay in the house about 5-7 years but probably we will lose money during that time period

  5. Last but not the least: I feel like I lost my freedom. Before this house I had a luxury to quit my job and enjoy life a little and come back to work. I have never done this but the possibility of it was enough for me to relieve from stress. Now that is gone. I’m also an immigrant and one of the main reasons to buy a house here was to make a long term investment. However I feel like I overcommitted to something Im not ready. I know that I will live here for at least 3 years but the rest feels blurry.

I have not been able to enjoy the home ownership since day 1. How do you deal with these feelings and stress? The idea of making the biggest financial mistake in my life and losing all our savings is really burdening me

 

can you pls share the link to the original post
