I guess if you also spent 20 years "3 years away" from buying a house, that was pretty normal.

    Man if my wife didn't push us to buy in 21, we would be way more than 3 years away, I wouldn't be able to afford my house today. Now as much as it feels like a blessing to own a house, it's also a trap since if I sell, I can't get another one.
