Owning things means you get to be your own master. That is worth different things to different people.
I know couples without kids who only rent cars but that number goes way down for people who have kids.
- makk 3y ago> Owning things means you get to be your own master. Tell that to fixed income folks who are priced out of the houses they own due to property tax increases.
- cableshaft 3y agoThat's pretty much unique to homes (well, real estate in general), and that's because there's pretty much no way to own the land your house is on, at least in the US (maybe there's some really rural parts where it's possible, not sure). Can't really think of anything else I own that has anything equivalent to a property tax.
- ghaff 3y agoWhere I live I do have excise tax on my car but that’s pretty small potatoes—maybe a couple hundred dollars a year. Also registration, inspection.
