And before he was homesteading, he lived in an apartment (paying it off) in the city.

I never understood the point of "buying" an apartment (called a "condo" in the USA). I understand homeownership -- having land/property/buildings you own and so you can use to help others -- store things for them, store supplies, offer lodging to your family & kids even after they've grown, etc.

And I understand apartment renting -- when you don't know how long you'll be in a place (buying a home is FOOLISH and not worth the trouble unless you know you'll need it for AT LEAST 4 years, preferably more...) or if you don't have someone to help with maintenance. The retired, elderly, older/unmarried women and even men who are absolutely sure they'll never get married, big-city dwellers priced out of the housing market, students fresh from college who haven't settled down (into a long-term job, or found their lifelong spouse yet), etc.

But how can you really "own" or be master of a condo? Show me someone who needs a "condo" living situation and I'll show you someone who should just RENT an apartment instead. Why tie yourself down to a building with hundreds of other people? What is the point exactly? If you want to invest in real estate, get a real HOUSE already.

My husband and I married after a year of mostly talking online and phone calls, and then i flew over to meet him twice in-person near the end of it. It was a big decision since the plan was for me to move in with him, and I lived in a different province.
He's 31 and i'm going to be 23 soon, and it's been more than a year of being married, which was pretty tough i admit, but i'm sure it'll get better over time. My husband did want to get married young, like as a teenager, but never found anyone suitable, so he ended up waiting a long time to find someone. And before he was homesteading, he lived in an apartment (paying it off) in the city.

Oh, wow...  For some reason I thought you were older.  😅😊
