[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Except rent keeps going up year after year, to keep up with the market. [/quote] Still better than buying at the current interest rates and having 80% of your mortgage payment go to interest. Plus the transaction costs of buying and maintenance costs. Rents don't increase at this rate. It is much smarter financial decision to rent and invest any potential downpayment right now for those who do not own. Owning is way overrated in general and massively more so in the current scenario. [/quote] No, sharing walls and owning nothing is not better at all. It's demoralizing. And life is short. [/quote] What is demoralizing about a growing investment account, no maintenance headaches and the flexibility to move wherever you want whenever you want? Renting has a lot of advantages. At the current rates people mostly just own a giant debt to the bank. The only appealing things are the stability and the ability to do whatever renovation/decoration decisions you want. Not everyone cares about that though. [/quote]
