Buying a house is something that’s been on my list for a while and something I have been seriously looking at it recently. The mortgage wouldn’t be an issue (in fact, less than my current rent) but the down payment is rough. It doesn’t help that even as a permanent resident, banks are reluctant to issue loans to anyone with a foreign name.

Somewhat related to that would be adopting a dog once I can have one again. I love my snakes but living in a place that allows dogs again would be great.
