I should have gotten a goldfish.
As someone who has a 80 lb dog I have found that there is no such thing as renting below means. Most places here won’t even consider you and, if they do, it’s going to cost 30% more than whatever the place is worth.

But owning over renting is definitely the way to go.
Not so fast my friend! One example would be all the people who bought at the peak of the last housing bubble. There is also the argument for renting (below your means) and investing the difference, in addition to the “time is money” aspect of no maintenance.

Sure, just renting forever isn’t optimal.
Ideally, whatever I end up moving to I want it to be new/newish. Probably going to spend the next 20-30 years there, so I don't wanna hate it.
