What's wrong with renting? I rent. I've always rented. And I think it's silly to buy. But I live on the opposite side of the pond from you. Only old people

  I'm sorry. I can't respond to this right now, not properly. Maybe someone else will. It just makes me angry. I can give you a short response. I don't mind renting. It's cool. I like the concept. I like choosing to rent. I don't like being forced to rent - I don't want to pay my landlord's mortgage - I don't want to move all of my stuff every 12 months - I want to put up shelves, paint, whatever. Make a home. Install a dishwasher. I don't want my children, if I ever have children, to move all the time. I want them to have a bedroom, not 10 different bedrooms throughout their life. I get what you're saying. I'm not you. I won't ever be you.

    How much money would you need to buy a modest home you and your partner would be happy with? Is it truly out of reach? Or is it something that will take a long time? Also, how much money would it cost to buy a modest home a very short commute from where you're likely to work for the remainder of your life? And what sort of work could get you there? Are you a programmer?
