Despite the occasional disadvantage of buying over renting, I always prefer to buy. Renting makes me question the extent to which I can use something, and it makes me fear the consequences of breaking it. Rather than investigate and remember the details of everything I choose to rent, I'd rather just own it in order to reduce cognitive load.

I have to keep track of: * Where is it? * Where do I store it? * How do I keep it safe? * What upkeep does it need? * When was the last time I used it? * Do I really need it?
