      Expenses to maintain a house should not be so overwhelming that renting is more cost effective. If that were the case how would a landlord make any profit?

      It’s more likely that you were just particularly bad at homeownership. That’s on you, not owning a home in itself.

        I never said I would be saving money by renting. I think I figured it out. You people are so weirdly defensive because you have to justify to yourself being in debt for 3 decades.

      I bought a house because I hate being beholden to unreliable landlords. Shoddy maintenance, selling the place, neverending rent going up every year. Been there, done that.

          Dude…you think your landlord is loosing money? You’re subsidizing all his expenses with the house and paying a nice extra on top of that. That’s what rent is!

          1. You’re paying someone else’s mortgage
          2. Could be kicked out for no reason
          3. Can’t modify your home
          4. In the end, all that rent money goes towards nothing for you.

          Enjoy not actually owning anything.

            You people are incredibly butthurt. I am pretty sure I deleted all my comments because you capitalists were annoying so why/how are you still writing me?
