  • Well it was partially out of choice and partially the stage of my life. I was in my 20s and working in fast food or between construction jobs. My career didn’t really start until my late 20s/early 30s. I guess I didn’t really consider buying as an option until later in life and my income in my earlier working years was inconsistent and a bit too low for my lifestyle.

    This post is insane. Sometimes I feel like Lemmy is an echo chamber for the maniacal. I rented for nearly 10 years of my life because I didn’t want to own a place and be tied down. Not everyone wants to be a homeowner. Once I got to the point that I wanted a home I bought one… And guess what, I save money every month on my mortgage versus renting. Renting is a convenience, home ownership is not dead… People buy up the houses near me faster than they can build them.
