Is it your apartment?

Nah, it's a rental. Housing market is bonkers right now, and I can (theoretically) get a mortgage that's 40% higher if I wait a year or two. It does not make me feel much different towards it. The only bummer is that the money I throw at it goes to some German holding company and not future-me.

Glad you've found yours, even if a rental. I'm still hanging on the old one.

I have zero science on money and savings, but I figure a living space is worth the money if it's quality/cost ratio is good and you find it comfortable.

Just wanted to share a bit of acquired wisdom and a few good wishes on living in one's own place. It's different from a place you rent, i.e. that is not yours but is temporarily acquired.
