    Ooh, I feel like rent payments should be pretax or tax deductible and it would help a ton of people out.

    Someone tell me why that would be a bad idea, I’m genuinely curious.

      Home owners get to write off interest, so us renters should get something.

      The real bitch is that I could totally afford a mortgage. I’ve lived in the same place for 11 years without missing a payment on my rent, but because it’s rent it doesn’t count towards my credit score, so fuck me right?
