I was a two time home owner before moving to Calgary. Never lived in a city, didn't think I would stay, was pretty nomadic anyways...so committed to renting for a few years. 2014 rolls around and I say fuck it, time to plant some roots. Mortgage brokers couldn't get me a mortgage (no T4 income, and I guess lenders weren't budging on that?). So I restructure my 2015 income to be salary, incur a massive tax debt, and then lose all my work in the wonderful oil collapse of 2015. Shit loads of bad luck sprinkled on top of some bad decisions. No bueno. Since oil field work was effectively dead for two years, I had to pivot. Took me 3 more years to regain my footing in a totally new market. New company, new clients, new work. "Back on my feet" and ready to buy at the end of 2022.
And then the Real Estate explosion happens in Calgary.
So now the houses I want to buy are selling for double what they did 10 years ago. Which means I have to double my personal income to get approved to buy it.
Right now my rent is well below market so I feel no pressure there. But I cant realistically expect housing prices to ever go down. So every month that goes by, the house I buy gets a little smaller and a little less desirable. And one day that house will turn into a townhouse. And then a condo. Which makes me feel a little desperate to buy the first thing I see.
I really should have bought a house when I first moved to Calgary.

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."
