Did you happened to take on many more life responsibilities in the intervening years, e.g. parenting & home ownership?

Home ownership consumes a much larger amount of time than I could have ever envisioned.

Simple things like going to one washer and dryer vs using an apartment's laundry facility increase the amount of time and attention the weekly chore requires. Doing projects you are capable of takes just as much time as coordinating the ones you cannot

Decision fatigue is a real thing and home ownership requires a lot of decisions.

The price we pay to try and capture 20-40% of our income in equity instead of it enriching someone else!
