So I kind of impulsively bought a Steam Deck OLED this weekend, I hadn’t really done much research and I haven’t really played any games in about 15 years.

Now I have to wait for it to be delivered and, I’m worried this is something I’ll use a few times and forget about it.

What’s something you impulsively bought and fell in love with?

    Yeah. But it was hard to actually house shop due to COVID restrictions, precautions, and such. I did refinance my mortgage in late 2020 (less than a year into it), though, since rates had dropped so much.

      Oh yeah, forgot about refinancing. So you were still able to take full advantage of that.

      For me it was an extremely lucky circumstance that my company’s stock hit an all time high at the same time that mortgages hit an all time low (well, not entirely luck, both events were due to covid). I would have never been able to buy a house in my area otherwise.

      I’m wearing a mask while house shopping right now. Idk how that’s any harder.

        Not sure what exactly you’re saying, many places were not allowing real estate agencies to do showings of houses during COVID, it wasn’t about wearing a mask or not you literally could not get an appointment to look at the house.
