It'd been few years already,  iam a very fickle minded whenever to decide buying a house. I WANT to buy a house because i want it, not saja saja, but Everytime i seriously thought about buying a property (own stay), i put hours hours hours of research and consideration. So many what ifs in my mind,  to the point i gave up tbe idea of buying a house and going debt free route and save as much and enjoy life as much as i can.

The What Ifs

1. I lost my job?
2. My salary got cut?
3. More pandemic coming?
4. if i buy a house can i still afford to do thing i used to do?
5. What if i change job or company relocate me somewhere more farther?
6. What If there's a sudden big increment of non bank commitment,  like kids, etc etc
7. Age is middle 30, what If i hold a little longer,  save money and buy house at 45 year old, then only eligible for 25 years loan. Donno can afford or not
8. Unexpected repair bill?
9. Will iable to save more for retirement?

Above questions are not for you.

At the moment I'm enjoying my life, car loan will finish soon, sometimes i felt too comfortable and boring. Can own a house make life less dull?

Seen and heard many cases that many people were getting fired this year i suddenly become coward to commit. Even a high income like pilots can be layed off.

Should i enjoy my debt free life?

Do you have the fear of buying a house?

The main issue here i can see is getting a house that you can afford ( the monthly installments ). It will solve most of your concerns. Of course you need to do some research on which area might fit the best for you in terms of work locations etc. The longer you hold it off, the more likely the prices will go up and unless you income increase accordingly, you will never be able to afford one. I envy those who bought earlier in their lives, suffered a little back then, but now their house is about half paid/some even fully paid.

Let me just park m question in TS thread here lol;

Anyone have any experiences with Studio on long term basis?
As in after you got a family and children.

Is studio good for long term?

Just an opinion. No & Yes. No if you plan to stay long term and have your family there. Yes, because you still can keep it and its quite popular for rentals, then get another bigger house.
