Bricks and mortar
Filed under: General - Mark @ 12:25 pm
Don’t get me wrong, I love owning my own home. Being able to modify it, and over time building equity. But gee it’s also depressing.
I decided to make a graph of how much damange we’ve been able to do to our outstanding mortgage amount over the last 9 months.
(Orange is actual, black is average)
It’s so depressing, one step forward, 0.9 steps backwards. When the orange gets past -250k (and stays there), I’ll be a bit more happier. That was my 6-month goal. Missed it by about 4 months, but unexpected babies can do that! Well worth the cost though.
So, what does this mean for the future? Thanks to excels ability to see into the future:
(Blue is what we’ve done, purple is projected until $0 balance)
Puts things in a bit of perspective…

2025? That’d be ok.
One thing I think you’ll find is that with the baby, and schooling, etc… that may get extended – Not to depress you.
Remember: Mortgage is like an extended rent… and at the end of the day, its to do with quality of life. Money isnt everything – life is about people!
