Saving for what? You'd still live in a condo?
I mean, I won’t have much leftover after paying off my condo. I live in a very expensive city.
Plus, you never know what you need money for down the line. Maybe my heating will need replacement. Maybe I lose my job. Maybe a family member will need professional care, like a home attendant. Or maybe I’ll take another vacation next year. Who knows.
