    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.
