Don't get me wrong, I've thought about buying a home. I've heard "talking" amongst family members. "Oh, they're just renting." "Why haven't they bought a home yet?" "Maybe they are having financial difficulties".
As I sit back and watch the mortgage crisis unfold, I sit back in my four bedroom rented house on five acres next to a pond that I pay $1000/month for. (Which is equivalent of a purchase of a $115,000 house) I can't help but believe they are some completely gullible people out there that will pay anything to say they own something.
I don't pay property taxes, and i've never spent a dime on repair. My weekend are free to frollock and have fun.
Why do we as American think that we MUST own a home? Where does this thought come from?
