A simpler point I didn't see emphasized is that even when you "own" a home you do not own it. You're renting it from the government, home owners association and utility companies. Disagree? Stop making payments to those three entities and we'll see how long it takes for men with guns to come and evict or arrest you. Owning is renting. Free your mind.
- billswift 16y agoI agree with your point; but there is a big practical difference between paying 2% of your house's value per year in taxes, versus the 10-to-20% that landlords usually charge.
- abalashov 16y agoI agree about the other two, but the utility companies one seems hyperbolic; if I actually wanted to live in a place without electricity, running water, Internet access, etc. supplied by someone else's infrastructure - which I do not own - I think I could very easily cancel all of those and be fine.
