I find it ridiculous how expensive things have gotten. I’m 50K away from paying off my 360K home. I’m thinking about the savings from the mortgage. Then homeowners went up a thousand. Auto insurance went up 1200 a year. Property taxes went up 300. And more. Soon I’ll be basically even, if lucky with the savings from paying off the house. It’s gotten ugly.
yep. things went way up. But you’ll be avoiding that rather than either saving big if not for the inflation, or paying big like most people.
