Thinking like yours is what gets people buried in student loan debt.
You have to do cost/benefit analysis based on local conditions at a given point in time.
Sometimes renting makes total sense, especially if you are only going to live in an area for a few years. Buying a house also restricts your flexibility in being able to easily move to a new area where you can earn more money should an opportunity arise.
And your idea that the purpose of owning a home is to generate jobs is dimwitted union goon thinking.
If you're going to call names, don't bother engaging me in debate.
Here's what the National Association of Home Builders has to say on the point I referenced. They're not exactly a bunch of "union friendly" goons. It's telling you didn't bother factually rebutting what I said prior to resorting to name calling.
I'll put you on the list of "People I no longer bother engaging on FR because they're incapable of having a civilized conversation."
Have a nice day.
