This is a fantastic point. It's just another transaction, like the hundreds of other ones you do every month. You can almost always find somewhere cheaper to live. Can't find a house/apartment to rent in your price range? Get some roommates, or see about renting a room in a house, it'll be much cheaper. People tend to get seriously up in arms about renting, when in reality it's not nearly as bad a deal as they make it out to be. A lot of times it can be a better financial choice than owning.
