[quote=Anonymous]Mom of 4 here. I own a house and am a total house person — love beautiful spaces and decorating (a challenge with 4!) But it perplexes me why people are so confident that buying a house is a big factor here. We have bought houses wisely and foolishly and gained and lost hundreds of thousands, once because we bought into a gentrifying neighborhood, once because my husband got sick and we had to sell. It’s just not so simple and, while I still prefer to own, I would not use this “rent or own”’idea in my math for having a 4th. However I would definitely consider whether you could absorb a big financial shock (terrible illness) or a kid with special needs.[/quote]
