Owning rhymes with maintenance - And lost hours waiting for the fking plumber who never comes. I owned many houses. Then I got older and realized a taxi or ambulance would take at least 45 minutes to get me to a hospital- I moved to a rental at age 80. Best move ever. Landlord does maintenance while I read a book

All of this! As a 46 year old single woman, I love renting, though my story is a bit different.

I moved into my beautiful little under market value, rent controlled apartment in a great LA neighborhood 18 years ago and will likely never move. I’m paying a fraction of what I would pay for something anywhere else in the country and my rent is DEFINITELY less than a mortgage anywhere would be.
