I'm finna be a homeowner - we're on track to close by the end of the month. Obsessively watching homesteading videos and researching chicken breeds. Wtfuuuuuuuuuuuck who'da thunk.

I mean I spent the last 7 years working two-three jobs at a time while also going to school but I did qualify for this federal low-income home loan so bring out the guillotine I guess

thanks man, it's truly a dream come true.

my own little cabin on the river <3

Nice.
I just bought an apartment.
Real estate is ridiculously expensive in our part of Germany and a nice house would set you back at least a million euros.

Congrats Wolf (so jelly)

small advice from resident loser

1) happiness
2) home

I’ve known lots of people who buying a home was the best thing and worked great

But I’ve met others who were so miserable and trapped by it

If it turns into the latter remember happiness > home

Ultimately home =\= happiness

And

I don’t know

Congrats on everything

I am just really looking forward to not having a shared wall and to having the space for my dog and my garden. The ultimate goal is sustainable living and full-time hermithood.

The house was built in 1930 but the wiring, plumbing, floors, roof, and appliances are all < 5 years old. Just above the flood zone.

It doesn’t even seem possible

I’d like to find a rock that overlooked an extremely high canyon and find someone to bet on a baseball game we could listen to and the loser would have to jump.

Can somebody save me?

It looks really wonderful, I'm so happy for you!

Elph and OH. I'm really sorry you're going through hard times. I know there's not much an internet stranger can do, but I offer my support nonetheless. Just in case
