Good to hear what's happening with you.

I have to ask, what's the long game? Or is that even a thought in your mind at all?

What I mean is, are you happy to just roll with it and enjoy life, career, and experiences, and you'll work it all out as you go along?

For context as to why I'm asking, I barely understood how a mortgage worked until this year, and now I'm planning to get one sometime in 2024. The main reason is, it's very unlikely I'll be emigrating anywhere, and so there's no point dishing out serious wads of money each month for the rest of my life when that money could be invested in the gaff with the aim of paying it off over 15 years MAX. That way I'll own the joint by age 55 and then most income after that is all mine, and even if I found myself with no job, I'd still have a roof over me, from under which nobody could kick me out.

Whatever we do decide long-term tho, we'll be fine, because mushrooms 🍄🍄
