So what's something major you have had to sacrifice in order to invest in property? delaying the big trip, lifestyle changes, the dream car etc
For us..it's a huge one. We have lived at home since we got married in 2002! coz we are low income earners and we were also able to claim PPOR CGT exemptions for a ocuple of the houses we sold over the years. It was good but a bit tough when baby no 1 came along.
We've been talking about moving out forever and finally we are in the progress of moving into our own home. I am so happy since I actually quite like this house too. It's going to be so weird. Even got phone connected already.
and more....no mortgage! well still a little but that will be paid out soon. Can't believe it took us 6 years to get here.
But we did move into an IP coz it makes sense since it was very cheap and to buy a house like that now would cost $500k. We built it for $310k 2 yrs ago.
It's good to achieve this just before my big 30. I know it's not a huge achievement compared to many here but even lil things will motivate people.
