I can imagine at least a few people are in a similar boat to me. I intended to upgrade this year and had even saved up for it - but the insane price hikes have completely killed any justification I could muster, so now I'm just waiting until something breaks.

I started saving up two years before all this nonsense, and by the time I had enough money the price had nearly doubled.

Same way saving for the down payment on a house works.

I don't have delusions of owning a house though.
