Well, then just set realistic goals for yourselves. It is a test (for you, not for the forum).
If you take out a loan of 350,000 euros today at an interest rate of 2.5% p.a. and pay an annuity of 1,100 euros/month, the term will be 44 years and in the end you will have paid 575,000 euros. Maybe you can better put 20,000 euros into perspective now . But again, I will not get hung up on specific numbers, you have to see that for yourselves ...
