Do you think we can afford to upgrade to an EC? We need to take a new mortgage if we upgrade. Or should we just be happy and stay put at our flat (currently worth $400k)?
Any advice? Thank you.

my advise is not to buy the EC. it's not worth the stress of taking on a loan as you don't have much retirement savings. better to invest the $100K wisely in blue chip stocks when there is a recession
