Anyone else tired of being a homeowner?

Update!

Edit to add the following:

1.) No, I’m not tired of building equity. Those comments are dumb and it’s been posted like a million times.

2.) I never said everyone has to agree and simply asked if anyone else was over it and don’t need to hear about it if you’re not. If you’re not, good for you!

3.) I also never said I was going to only rent. I said I want to downsize and I don’t yet know that that will look like. Good lord. Some of y’all made this not fun 😂

Original post-

When I was younger, that’s all everyone talked about. Don’t waste your money renting and how the most amazing thing in the world is to be a homeowner. I won’t argue with that, but I’m tired.

I am a single parent homeowner and don’t really have any friends or family that can help when things go wrong so I have to pay for everything that needs to be done (that I’m unable to do myself) and I’m just finding that the older I get, the less interested I am in cleaning this house when I only use a portion of the rooms, and keeping up with yardwork that I also have to pay for. Property tax goes up every year. Homeowners insurance goes up every year. That makes the house payment go up every year. Over it.

I just keep dreaming of downsizing. I don’t know what that looks like, but I also can’t imagine living right on top of someone in an apartment.

I don’t know where this is going, but just sharing to see if anybody else feels this way. I think I’m just tired of having so much responsibility. Like many of you here, I’ve been working since I was 15 and I’m tired of being a slave to a home and all that being a home owner entails. Also adding that that does not mean that I am not thankful because I’m very thankful to have a home. I just don’t know that I want to do this for the rest of my life.

Anybody else just over it?
