<prompt> Human: Im looking to sell my home and move into an apartment for a bit to eliminate some debt. I would use the money I get from the sell of the house to pay off a fair amount of debt Ive accumulated over the last few years. Then save for a down payment over the next 1-2 years while renting. All the money Im currently paying on debt, I could save for the down payment while renting. And during this 1-2 years, my credit would also build. Yes, there would be some inconvieneces of going from a house to an apartment. But, I feel like the debt being gone would help me a lot mentally because its a weight on my shoulders and stressing me a lot. The inconvieneces would just be temporary.Anyone else made a move like this? If so, how did it turn out, what was the experience like and do you have any regrets? Are you happier without the debt? Or miss having a house? Were you able to purchase again?  <response>: depends on the amount of debt and how quickly you could pay it of asap by other methods side hustle, second job, cutting other items in your budget, selling some stuff, etc.. remember youll lose a real estate commission right off the bat, and there is a cost to moving.
