  • I’m currently renting a home for space for gardening. Tomato seedlings went out last weekend :)

    So there’s that, and there’s retirement. Having set expenses (aside from taxes) is super important and you’ll never have that with renting when you’re retired.

    I don’t consider my home a retirement vehicle. I save separately for that. But I do understand that for some people, it is, and that’s understandable.


  • I never understood the obsession with homeownership.

    I’ve owned. It kinda sucked. The things most people think of as “pros” (like being able to renovate) were not that great for me. I’d spend a lot of time thinking about things I could change/improve, and then doing them.

    My brain operates differently renting. I don’t really care about things like that since its not an option in the first place. It saves me time/money/stress and I spend more time living my life instead of maintaining a property.

    Of course there are drawbacks with renting, specifically shitty landlords, but to me there are more pros than cons.
