"digital nomad" is my dream lifestyle. But one of the major drawbacks longterm is rent vs mortgage. Most societies are structured in a way that wants you to settle down. While monthly rent v. monthly mortgage payments might be similar in cost, and both fix the "where do I sleep" problem, after 30 years one leaves you with equity and the other does not. I wish there was something similar to a co-op where owning part of a company entitled me to a room just not any particular room. E.g owning type A stock lets me use a type A room in any city I happen to be in.
