as with everything it just depends doesn't it?
I bought my first home at 18 so I only rented for 2 years of my life,and bought at a time I did not know how to really save so any money that had not built up as equity would have been spent
as a landlord I can tell you that you do in fact pay property tax and insurance and repairs if you rent ;-) at the end of the year I always come out ahead on my houses, maybe its just what I bought how I bought and how I manage them
when you own a home and live in it you will spend more on repair and mantainance than if you were renting the same house out
