    At least you get something in return for “paying rent” to the bank. Paying rent to a landlord is just paying someone elses mortgage, for no return whatsoever.

      I hate to tell you this, bud, but one day, you’re going to die. You can’t take that house with you. Use your money to travel, and live.

        Same for that landlord, he can’t bring the profit he made. I’d rather make sure the money stays in my pocket than his.

        Either I spend the money to pay the mortgage or to pay a rent, I’d rather have something I can live in and pass along to my kids.

        I traveled quite a bit already, both for leisure and for work before settling down to have a family.

          And you’re still going to die. Live doing what you want to do, or on your knees in debt before the bank. Your choice.
