What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, this is Allie, and thanks for listening to the show. Give us a five-star review where you listen and share this episode with someone who might need to hear it. Now, enjoy the show. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. You're listening to another edition of DIY Money. DIY Money.
So I think you know this. Obviously, you know this. But home ownership is just awesome. I mean, absolutely amazing. And I say that with a very heavy hint of sarcasm.
I was going to say, wow.
Very heavy hint of sarcasm. I have figured out that home ownership is basically just a long battle against water. Forever. That's high quality H2O. Forever. So we had some folks out this weekend digging up our back patio with a jackhammer because somehow there's a tree under our back patio that has lifted up the concrete pad to the point where there's water getting into our house.
What personal homeownership headaches do the hosts describe as a lead-in?
And so we have to concrete break that all up, and now they're laying the new pad, but the weather in Kentucky is beautiful this time of year, so they can't lay the new pad for another week. It's awesome.
Yeah, I literally just had a new trench put in a corner of our house because we were not getting enough water away on that corner and therefore it was ending up in our basement.
Lifetime battle against water.
Lifetime battle against water. Yeah, that's really interesting.
The grass is always greener.
Yeah, the grass is greener. It still has to be mowed. There's probably a lot of people listening to this that are like, oh, it's easy for you guys to say. You own a home. I can't buy a home. Can't afford a home. You know, you name it. And it is a very – I mean, we're in a world right now where homeownership – residential real estate is in a real juxtaposition. I've wanted to use that word on the podcast before. I'm very impressed with that. I've not used that word on this podcast. I don't throw it out very much because I think it sounds dumb. It sounds ridiculous.
You don't just say juxtaposition every once in a while.
No, ever, ever. But I did today, so there you go. But it is. It is a juxtaposition that we're in in residential real estate because interest rates are high. Therefore, the payments are high. A vast majority of people that are in their homes have these low interest rates. They don't want to move. And thereby, you know, maybe getting the same value of home but paying a double or triple amount in their mortgage. Younger people are being priced out of the market left and right. I mean, it is a very, very big dilemma. I have no idea how it's solved. None whatsoever. I do know it will be solved, that there is no perpetual dilemma in a capitalistic society. Right. Uh, there will be capitalists that come along that will solve this.
I know that there's a lot of building being done. I know that we're still not catching up, but there's a lot of building being done, but it'll be interesting. But yeah, I often find myself saying, I just want to live in a rented town home and not worry about a thing. And then I'm sure I would be like, I don't have enough space. I mean, it's whatever first world problems. All right. Um, this is not going to be a normal DIY money where we take a question, by the way, still send us those questions, podcast at DIY money.org. That's podcast at DIY money.org. You know, you can always tell who listens to the show and who doesn't. Do you have friends that are like, Oh yeah, that's a good show. Like, Oh, what do you interview people?
And you're like, you've never listened to the show.
They're like, I love your podcast. Uh, like it's really cool when you all just talk about random things all the time. I'm like,
No, they have no idea. We take questions every episode. Every episode we take questions. But anyways, we keep those questions coming. But every once in a while we'll do a back to the classroom edition. And we've had really good feedback on that. I think people are liking that when we go back to either the basics or maybe just kick around a few things. And there's something that's really weighing heavy on me in this environment, especially as the market, we're cutting this in mid-February, and the market has shown a little bit of back and forth.
