So I'm building an extension to my house. It's nearly done just the finishing touches. My question is more along the finances. During the process it was a depressing experience seeing my money dwindle. My question to you all, is, is it worth it? At the end of it all I will still have some savings just obviously not as much as I had originally and this is really depressing me. How do you guys deal with that. I didn't take a loan.

If u decided to extend then obviously you thought you needed to do it. Money could make back. Enjoy your extra space. Or know the kids will enjoy it.

I start a project 2 weeks ago...which just suppose to be clearing off a very big storage shelf in my garage and repacking and throwing away junk.

When I see how much space I was ending up with when things packed properly......
I end up starting to clear up two other storage areas and in the process of turning a storage room into a guest bedroom with bunk beds/wardrobe etc.

Found alot of things in the store room that I don't rly use anymore...cutting torch and bottles......metal windows and doors that were removed from other renovations....that I selling off to fund the current project.

I mean it eh make sense u commit to building and then build and then feel sad the money spend. Atleast u eh firetruck it up on gambling and rum and drugs and hoes.

Nun wrong with any of those things either eh.

Buyer's remorse is what it's called.

Not uncommon at all.
