Owning provides a different form of freedom than renting; freedom from the whim of a landlord. Over time, it has proven to be a wise financial choice as well.
Besides, it’s hard to rent a heated garage big enough to hold 5 motorcycles, 2 cars, a Coke machine, two work benches, a compressor and a whole lot of tool cabinets.
Once I passed the minimalist stage of my life, my house became my warehouse.
There are many great reasons to own a home. Money is but one reason. Having a garage is the biggest thing I miss about renting. If I could rent a one bedroom apartment with a 3-car garage, I would do it in a minute!!!
