I did try it. Then the mortgage late notices started to pile up. Then the IRS started calling. I don't recommend it.
If a job had ever stuck around long enough to feasibly pursue a mortgage, I've have not got one on the basis that I'd suspect the job wouldn't be around much longer after that. Maybe real estate in various places will start lowering when there's no way to pay for multimillion dollar bungalows anymore
I'd love to! Based on FIRE-style calculations I'd need approximately 2 mil at the current cost of living in my city. But if you'd help relocate my household internationally, I could get the cost down considerably. Where can I send the bill?
I don’t have to any more but I recognize that few have such luxury.
Imagine not thinking about “food” and “shelter” all the time. Try it.
