>>28504594I think philosophically I live better as a non home owner.
My bud has a half million dollar house that is smaller than my apartment. I have a working fireplace, he was told by the city they will peg him if he tries using his.
He spends 4k on mortgage.
My luxury apartment is 2k.
I set aside another 1k for retirement and 1k for a crazy sports car I don't need.
My wife and I go on 4 week long vacations a year.
My buddy had to save up for his lawn mower.
We all hang out at his house for social events.
