    A million dollars spread out over 12 years is not amazing money.

    It’s not like he got a million dollars and could have bought the house outright. He took out a mortgage because he had a respectable middle class income for 12 years.

      I could easily retire for life on that money and live very comfortably. Shit, it would give me a higher yearly wage than I’m on now.

      I don’t get why people online frequently act like that’s not a lot of money. It’s £750k.

      You could buy an alright house (outside of London) on that, retire at 30, and enjoy an above average amount of after-bills spending money for the rest of your life, without having to work at all.
