No mortgage. We rent. Our rent is around $3300/month. Never want to buy really. We live in an area where renting is FAR cheaper than buying, over time. My husband earns good money as a military officer. I have no complaints. I'm a SAHM. We are earning a bit extra each month right now since my husband is stationed overseas away from us. We get about an extra $1000, tax free, in allowances and COLA, plus we get to skip paying CA state taxes which saves us a few hundred dollars every month. The quarantine has our spending WAY down. Normally, we save about $2000-3000 every month.
Nice! Both rent and buyer are pricey here, rent is probably at least equal to the same cost of the mortgage on the house sort of thing. $1000 tax free is pretty nice too, hopefully he's not away too long? That would be really hard for sure. We aren't big spenders, but our spending is way down too, although just paid house insurance and car insurance for one of our cars and they were both up a chunk, so balances out a bit.
We would have to have DL passes, we joke about making some year the year of Disney...who knows
