Bought my house right before the new housing crisis. I'm locked in so cheaply that I may not ever move.

Gonna ride my residual income as far as I can take it. I'm done breaking my body for a world that doesn't care.

My landlord just raised my rent 33% with only two month's notice so I'm moving back to my parent's place so I can keep my old rent price. I'm glad they own their house

It's nice when your parents are willing to let you rent/stay with them.

Same here. Bought in 2018 which was supposed to be at some all time high. Then refinanced it during COVID with a total monthly payment of $1500 on a 3br2ba house. When we bought the house we thought we were making a dumb decision, now I'm some sort of genius for getting lucky. I can't imagine trying to rent these days.

Same. Refi'd into 3% and not going to budge. It'll be interesting to see if our loan servicer ever changes, because who in the world would want to buy a loan with such a low interest rate?
