Homeownership is part of the American Dream. We all want the big house, front yard with a picket fence and 2.5 kids. But what you don't think about is all the responsibility and work being a homeowner affords. Forget lounging on the couch on Saturday afternoon because you have to move the yard. Job promotion moving you out of state? Now you have to sell that house within a particular time frame. Toilet backs up ... call the plumber $$$$$.
When you live in an apartment you have freedom! Freedom to spend your weekends hiking with friends or exploring the city. Freedom to lounge by the pool that the community offers. Freedom to move if needed and not have to worry about selling a house. No property taxes ... did I mention that?
Here are some examples of why renting is the new owning.
