“Smart” people always tell us to rent. But ask any regular person if they’d rather own a home or rent and they will say own. Who cares about xyz costs or a lower investment return. The entire point is to have a stable base from which you and your family can thrive.

- bix6 5mo agoO so they suggest buying instead of renting as well? Thank you :)
- SirMaster 5mo agoI'm just a single guy, why do I need more than a small apartment which is like 1/4 the monthly cost of a home mortgage payment. I put the other 3/4 of that cost into index funds. Also saves me time not having to do things like mow and shovel which is quite valuable to me.

- SirMaster 5mo agoI suppose you do say family. For me I don't really plan on having a family, so it semes like renting will always be a better option. Perhaps mainly because they don't really make houses small enough to match the cost of renting, or at least not in the area I want to be in.
