Myself and my DH made a really bad decision when we bought our house at the peak of the housing market at the end of 2007.
We bought a house at top dollar and with our bad credit we ended up on a high interest, interest only mortgage.
We hoped we could get a better deal in a year or two and either move or build an extension.
2008, market crashes and we're stuck with a house that dropped thousands in value.
Fast forward 6 years and here we are, paying every penny into our home just to cover the mortgage.
We have also had 2 children and already had one so that hasn't helped finances.
I know I should be thankful, I have a home, my children are happy, healthy and have what they need.
My husband works every hour to provide for us.
I have a good job to go back to after mat leave.
I just feel disappointed that we are in such a mess financially and our mortgage is such a huge drain on us.
Am I being unreasonable to feel like this?
