Getting out of renting and locking in a 30 year fixed interest rate of 3.25%.

My monthly housing payment is no longer going up every year.

My old apartment is already $300 a month more than I'm paying on my mortgage. It was only $200 a month less when I bought the house.

Buying property was definitely the one for me. It's a huge hurdle to get into, years of planning and prepping, but I've never felt more financially stable or secure as after buying property.

Now I gotta go fix that stupid thing in the kitchen...
