Still reflecting…

It’s day 4. I have come to the realisation that this will be a long journey. I have almost half a million dollars worth of debt. Half a million dollars! Is this house worth that much?! When you sit and think about it… saying it out loud – “half of one million dollars” – it really hits you. It’s a lot of money. A bloody shitload of money!

And so easy to get such a loan. Call a mortgage broker, say “go”, sign a few papers and before you know it the next 30 years of your life have just been… well, what’s the right word here? Sacrificed? Hehe, no. Compromised? Hmmm, maybe. Somewhat predicted… that sounds ok. Yeah, 30 years of my life has just been somewhat predicted.

I guess it’s fine, I get a nice house for it. We live in a marketplace and that’s the going rate… so be it.

Ok, enough reflection. I think I need to take the next step forward and start thinking about how I can take out a sizable junk from this mortgage. It’s time to turn on the brain! …I will start tomorrow… hopefully. 

Day 4: $455,849.92 in debt.
