And a place like this, it is going to take a long while to pay off the loan. Sometimes, we have to ask ourselves, is it worth buying something with that much of money, like when people spend on super expensive cars when cars themselves depreciates in value over time. House and property, may be slightly better as the value generally appreciates if the location is right.
The question "is it worth buying" is a tough one. Because, in similar situations to the one in the story, there is more or less some kind of a drive from the surroundings towards certain decisions.
