I'm looking into whether I can get out of this dump of a village, is it a good idea or a bad idea to get a mortgage?

I'm not going to be moving for a few years, I'm holding off until Tigger goes, so I'm not then having to move two cats at the same time, I'd only have to move madam (Willow)

Willow's the one who causes the more trouble when the carrier gets prepared, she knows what blankie-going-in-carrier means

The alternative is, I see if I can put a couple of hundred aside every month (instead of doing enjoyable stuff) and seeing if I can get enough for this house as well as whatever I can save, to then move to a more decent place?

The only things really going for here are I've never had any bother in this village, its just a crap dump, and the fact that this was the only place (to our knowledge) Ebony felt safe
