Selling the four-bedroom family home they bought 10 years ago will save loads of money each month
The family is moving to find more financial flexibility. Owning their current home is a financial burden, and the stress would only get worse with a mortgage renewal coming up soon.
…
Proceeds from the sale plus a cash top-up will mean they can live mortgage-free in their new three-bedroom townhouse. Current mortgage costs are $3,965 per month.
As well, Ms. Deane has estimated that her family will save on electricity, heating, insurance, property taxes and maintenance. Even with strata/condo fees of $710 per month at the new place, Ms. Deane calculates overall savings of $4,640 per month.

Peeps are afraid to sell their shit. I’m a boomer, and my peers, colleagues, and folks I’ve known forever, are dying.
Many have never really stopped working nor begun living the life they worked all their lives working for.
They all could have sold their shit 10 years ago and LIVED off the interest!
But nope! Their dreams die in their sleep. As do they.
That’s sad. We have the stereotype of the rich boomer enjoying an easy retirement, but that isn’t the case for a lot of people.
That’s the most evocative thing I’ve read in a while. Props.
I’m sorry about your friends.
