@neauoire we dont splurge unnecessarily and live humble lives in general, but living in the city has a lot of costs we can’t escape. If my partner and I worked full time remote, we could get a little house 20km from the city and would be doable. As it stands, trying to buy an apartment here is 2-3 times as expensive as that… and part of buying is to pay less monthly (and half of that being ours). Plus we have family far away and traveling is expensive
