I never felt owning a home making me successful, more free and sovereign but more so all the opposite. Yea there’s some extra comfort in guaranteed place to sleep every night even though a long term rental is almost the same. But questionable as a trade off for dealing with regulations, taxes and multiple governments in large. Let’s not forget the on going costs for repairs and maintenance.

I’m nearly 50 expat traveling and working across the world, have never owned property.
