"It's terrible. This longing and not getting. Everything bad in life can be attributed to not owning a home. You wouldnt have a bad day if you have a nice house to come home to and realize it's all worth it."
That's a little on the extreme side - no? I highly disagree. You've led a pretty charmed life if the worst thing you can think of is not owning a house.
- The other points in your post were all valid
PS – I’m 37, haven’t ever owned a house, have a pretty darned good life, and have suffered FAR worse tragedies than being a renter. Houses here cost over 600K, so you kind of have to prioritize what’s important. I’d rather have a life than be a slave to an outrageous mortgage payment. It is NOT the worst thing in life.
