    Did you fall for it because it was hyped or because you couldn’t afford to buy?

      Sometimes it is hyped because of the “freedom” aspect.

      In some countries, it’s not even a bad idea because there are a lot more renter protections.

        Yeah I “fell” for it cause I can’t afford a house/don’t have parents that can help with a down payment. But seeing how much shit my homeowner friends have to deal with makes me honestly pretty grateful not to be a homeowner.

        I know there’s downsides, but I don’t want kids and am locked in at COVID pricing, so I don’t really care for purchasing anything either.
