No offense taken, it’s a fair point. Everyone’s situation and values are different, and I totally get that. For some, flexibility and financial upside matter more; for others, stability and control over their living space carry more weight.

That said, it’s not always black and white. In some markets, owning still makes financial sense long-term, even with high rates…especially if you plan to stay put and can handle the upfront costs. But yeah, I respect that for a lot of people right now, renting might be the smarter move financially. Just depends what you’re optimizing for.
