Home ownership

Is it really all its cracked up to be?
We've put the idea of purchasing a home on hold. To save more money. More money.
More.

Money.

We're always going to need more money, we're never going to have enough for this to be comfortable. I feel like it will always be just out of reach for us.
Renting isn't so bad, we get our dishwasher fixed for free and the water leak, and roof tiles. But we can't paint. And we can't put a big pergola up out the back to shade the children while they play. And we can't strip the Yuk floor in the living area and re-finish it. And it'll never be our Yuk floor, we'll never own it.
I suppose, at the end of the day, the upside to this is that there won't be anything for Mieke and Quinn to fight about when we're gone.

Okay, enough. Complaining over.
