you would of had all of that AND all the profit your landlords made if you had bought something. You probably paid those rental units off 2 times over for your landlord.
But no interest to banks. No expenses for repairs or appliance replacement. No yard work.
I wrote to another that I moved every 4 or 5 years. So no buying and selling which costs fees and commissions.
It’s an individual choice. I did the math.
I’m in a unique situation for the last 25 years. I can fix up my place as I wish. I started at $900 a month and it’s now $1800. Convenient, good location, no kids,large rooms, closet space.
I can even walk to vote. Lol
Thanks for your input.
