    Right… and no generation since has ever seen the value of owning property, right? Lol.

    Mark Twain was right. It’s easier to fool someone than to convince them they’d been fooled.

    See how mad people get in this comment section when someone points out they’re being taken for a ride? One person even said they won’t get off the ride if it isn’t “easy.” Lol.

    Supply and demand. You’re not exempt from them.

      Are you under the impression that modern renters are choosing to rent instead of own?

      60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck making saving for a down payment impossible for over half the country, and with rates being what they are, mortgages are expensive af.

      People are renting because it’s the only way to live, not because they think it’s neat. People are getting upset at you not because you’re pointing out that rent is a scam, but because you’re implying it’s the fault of the victims

      Quoting someone much smarter than you doesn’t enhance your unintelligible argument. It makes it dramatically worse.
