At least you know that you will never be somewhere when you get old. I think having your own home is a good idea and good for you too.

I think that it`s better to rent a house than taking huge mortgage, after failing to pay it back it leads to foreclosure. The <a href="http://ellidavis.com" rel="nofollow">Toronto condos</a> for example are the most tempting living options for so many couples buying their first home. I think that we should always consider our present situation and take steps forward according to this.

I couldn't agree more. I think a lot of people who advocate renting over buying are either looking at owning a home as a short term investment only, or aren't at a point in their life where owning a house would make sense anyway.

However, practically speaking EVERYBODY should own a home (because they probably WON'T otherwise invest all the money that they would 'save' by renting). For most people (90%+0 OWNING their own home (as long as they don't break the 20% Rule) is the ONLY way that they will ever becoe financially free. Thanks for the post/s!

If people paid more attention to their real needs, fewer people would be in foreclosure today. I am so glad you are pointing out both sides… not everyone should own a home.
