I get it, its an emotional argument for you and that is ok. My comment was simply to highlight the fact that there are equally viable alternatives and priorities. My home is my family. I have difficulty putting value in things I know can be easily taken from me and have been taken from me or my family before. We've lost our home to rot and mold, we've had theft of material possessions and funds. We had our local government force us to move after we said no to their offer, they decided to buy the road we used to get in and out of our property to force us out. So sure, it's fine to believe your property will forever be in your name after you die, and that doesnt prevent me from stacking sats and staying humble.

I know what the alternatives are obviously. I have rented before. You gave reasons why you dont like home ownership. I can tell you why renting has been horrible for me in the past too. Have actually moved from a rental property because of mold. All the reasons you list can happen if you rent though. Also, issues with your house is your responsibility. If you cant take that responsibility then dont do it surely. I get that. You say your home is your family. Now you are getting emotional with it. We are clearly talking about property. For me its about "having". I want to "have" a home. Not be in someone else's. I wont rely on another owning a home, so then I can rent what they own. The person you rent from is a home owner. Also, property doesnt stay in your name after you die. Thats not possible. Next of kin, family. If you were a fool and had a mortgage then the bank should get your property.

Bro, tf. He just said he lost his house like 3 times and your like, well now YOUR being emotional 🤣 i think the point hes trying to make is that your opinion isnt objectively true 100% of the time. Get this guy an eq test, shit

Make sense. His reasons happen in renting as well. Ownership is better is a fact. I never said its what he as an individual needs to do. No cry baby please. Stop expecting landlords to be your answer for everything.
