Our house is pretty much paid for already and we got full solar so we don’t need to pay ridiculous electricity costs. We even overfitted our array so we sell excess power back to the grid and hash with the rest. We couldn’t do that when renting. When you’re renting, you always need permission. Can’t grow your own food, can’t paint the walls the color you want, etc. Renting might be a good strategy for some, but not at all in our case. Money that comes in, doesn’t go towards rent. It’s all BTC.

Also, moving somewhere else can reduce your living expenses a lot. I initially moved from Bay Area to Tulsa and I reduced my living expenses drastically even though I lived in a nicer place in Tulsa.
