If you want to own a house then the best time to own a house is right now.
Why does everything always have to about investments and speculation and all that crap? What about, you know, actually living your life? If you do everything "right", according to the financial experts, the richest you'll ever be is at the moment before you die.
The reason to own a house is you want to own a house. You want it to be yours. You want to do whatever you want to it. You want to accept the responsibility of its maintenance because the advantages of ownership outweigh the responsibilities.
If that's what you want to do then do it. Or you could get depressed listening to these bozos who live their life like it's a game that you're somehow losing despite living in a developed country, no needs unmet and sleeping peacefully every night.
- esoterica 3y agoUnless you have infinite money you have to weigh the costs against the benefits of a major purchase like a house.
- globular-toast 3y agoYes, of course, but I feel like these kind of articles only ever account for the financial benefits. It you want to own a house it doesn't matter if it costs more than renting. Usually getting what you want does cost something and it's truly bizarre that we think house ownership should be all benefit with no cost.
