This is such an interesting mentality, one I just can't understand. The instant I got a real job, I rented a house. Just for me. Five bedrooms, three bathrooms, front/back yard(s), garage, driveway, the works. I kept telling myself it was "practice" for understanding what it's like to be a homeowner (common pitfalls, responsibilities, required upkeep, etc) while with training wheels because the landlord was still technically on the hook, but honestly it was because I was tired of living in apartments all through college. I guess we all just like what we like, eh?
- colechristensen 7y agoI could buy a five bedroom house about every year or two in my hometown for the rent I pay for 1 bedroom 1000 sqft apartment in Mountain View in an equal amount of time. I am actively unhappy with the situation but am ultimately owned by some decisions I have made so here we are. Many aspirations towards tiny houses i think are motivated by economics and fear or ignorance about what exists everywhere else. Maybe I could buy an enormous house in the middle of nowhere and throw gatsbyesque parties to lure visiting friends from cities and have the best of both worlds.
