Housing and Relationships… advice to your younger self
Hello all,
My situation:
22 years old,
Income approx ~550k pa (IT Contracting plus e-commerce business)
ISA - 87k
GIA - 90k
Pension - 80k
Cash in the Bank - approx 550k
Friends - none
Cats - 1
My main motivation for earning money was to buy a nice 5 bed mortgage free and “live happily ever after” and I think I’ll be able to do it this year.
However, I have no gf, no social life and actually no one to enjoy this theoretical amazing house with. Look back and realise huh this is very lonely.
Another financial aspect I would like advice on, is if I don’t need a big fancy home, which I don’t, then should I buy it? My idea is buy once, pay stamp duty once and done, no stress about moving and upsizing etc etc, but it’s weird to buy a big home young with no partner or kids. Anyone with better financial ideas please let me know. I don’t feel comfortable taking on mortgage.
My question is how on earth do people who are busy and working etc actually meet people and hopefully their partner. I go gym a few times a week but other than that nothing else. Like my motivation to make good money was always to provide for my theoretical kids and partner, but they don’t exist lol I feel kinda stupid lol, it’s essentially over planning from financial anxiety.
Bit worried I’m going to just be lonely just staring and code terminals and Shopify for the rest of my life lol.
