Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
I wish I had realised earlier that saving for a deposit and getting on the property ladder was worth sacrificing other things for, because the way house prices have skyrocketed has made it almost impossible now, I’m not sure if I will ever own my own house.
Not that I’m complaining, I’ve had a great life travelling and I am in a good position where I can have a roof over my head, a cosy place to live etc etc., many people don’t have that, so I am extremely grateful.

You’ve touched on such an important point—one that many of us, myself included, learn later than we should. In my younger years, I didn’t have the self-discipline to manage a budget, build savings, or invest in anything lasting. It wasn’t until my forties that I really began to take those steps seriously. Thankfully, it wasn’t too late—but I often think how much further along I’d be if I’d started in my twenties. Still, there’s value in the lessons that come with time, and I’m grateful for the second chance to get it right. Like you I have had a unique experience getting to where I am. Still it would have been nicec if I would have saved better on my here.

I can attest that home ownership comes with its own unique problems and downsides. It sounds like it worked out in your favor. Sometimes not being tied to a specific place is best.

There are pros and cons to each Wayne and you do live in a part of the world with very expensive real estate.

Being tied to a house changes everything, Wayne. It might not have been a mistake.
