It's cute that you think life is inexpensive once you pay off your mortgage at 65 and have spent several thousand dollars throughout the years maintaining that house that would've otherwise been put into your savings account

Ah yes. Fill a landlords pocket or a bank. Does it really matter? At least after you pay your mortgage off, that money just goes to taxes and then you “own” that property. Instead of renting until you die. Get real.

I have done both, home ownership is also expensive and more stressful. Unless you've owned a home for over 10 years maybe don't get so mad at me for telling you that the American dream is a lie
