I managed to buy a small house during the weird financial stuff going on during covid. As much as this gif is accurate, I like it better than renting.

    Have you installed solar panels yet? I want to, but the tech is advancing rapidly enough that it makes more sense for me to wait atm.

    I’m also planning on just paying for it up front. The programs for “we’ll do it for cheap but we’ll own it” are generally scammy. My friend has solar panels through his utility company, and his power went out recently but the panels did nothing for him because they go straight to the utility company’s grid. He’s pretty much renting them roof space for a discount on his bill.
