"Which you will use to buy the latest gadgets, to pay the latest cool service, " I think it is also wrong to generalize like that. There are renters who are disciplined enough to invest most of their "surplus of money" in appreciating assets. One can even invest in real estate without buying a home. Depending on location, a disciplined renter may well come out way ahead of the owner. IMO, that's a message that we should hear more often.
