I agree with one small point: Rent? Do you mean rental income? Because I feel like if a person can buy a place and then rent it out, that is an opportunity earned and converted into income. My husband and I own two rental properties, which took us about 11 years to acquire. We get decent rental income out of it but it took a lot of time and work to get to that point. I think we earned that income.
