There are people in my hometown that have car payments higher than their mortgage payments.

I should appreciate how much work I don't have to do by not having a car to pay for

My mortgage is less than that today.

(Although TBF, that's because I bought during the Great Recession -- I wouldn't be able to afford to re-buy the same house today.)

I have never had that cheap a mortgage but it is scary when you realize you could not buy your house if you were looking to.
