Moving has extra costs associated with it, but you still build equity. After ~30 years, you don't have to pay a mortgage anymore. Any money you saved from renting better go straight into your IRA, because you're still going to be paying rent when you retire. 30 years of mortgage is a lot cheaper than 60 years of rent.
