Well I personally would rather put money towards my own mortgage than someone else's, but each to their own....
If the relationship falls apart as a result of living together and you could have found this out by renting, you would save yourself a lot of money. (If, and only if - I'm not saying the relationship /will/ fall apart)
I think deciding not to rent only because you view it as the cheaper option, without thinking through what may be the best option in the long run, suggests you are not thinking through all the possible ramifications of your decision i.e. there is more than just money to be considered here. OK, so you think it's the right decision for you and it might turn out fine but if you can't even see why it /could/ be a bad idea, then I think there is an element missing to your decision making.0 -
We'll just have to agree to disagree on this one I think
