The prices are rising up globally, and with that, the cost of living does too. I've been thinking about buying a house or getting a mortgage for a long time, but only recently realized that I don't even know how much money I'll have in 5 or 10 years. Sure, it's impossible to predict the future, and some might that this isn't even worth doing. But I disagree. My personal calculations shocked me, to be honest, and I think my predictions are not overly pessimistic or optimistic. This realization will be sitting in a back of my mind, if I'll be tempted to spend too much.
