Now I'm 27 years old and feel stuck in a cycle of work, consume, repeat. I have student debt, credit card debt, etc. I hate that I got a taste of the rich life and now have to work like everyone else. Should I settle and be grateful that I own property in one of America's biggest cities and slave away paying off this mortgage for the rest of my life? The condo is now worth about $300k, I've paid off about $20k.
现在我 27 岁,感觉被困在「工作-消费-循环」里。我有学贷、卡债等等。我恨自己尝过富贵的滋味,现在却得跟所有人一样打工。我该认命、感恩自己在美国最大城市之一有房产、然后当牛做马还一辈子房贷吗?公寓现在值约 30 万,我还了约 2 万。
I feel too young to settle down in this city, and that I'm being held down by this property, but I know I will probably never get such a good interest rate (4.125%), and am too scared to sell. I pay less than renters do for a similar living situation. I think I'm going to rent it out and move abroad next year.
我觉得自己太年轻,不该在这座城市定下来,感觉被这套房子拖住了。但我知道这种利率(4.125%)大概再也碰不到了,又不敢卖。我住的档次,房租比我月供还贵。我打算明年把它租出去然后搬去国外。
