Whose chance? And chance to do what?
Like any payment for a service, rent is not dead money.
Most renters don't want your empathy, just a place to live.
At last, you've found you perfect forum. Enjoy.Been away for a while.0 -

Rent money goes into landlord pockets , you pay their retirement . Always buy
So it seems the choice is.....
....rent and pay a landlords pension.
....buy and pay a bankers bonus in interest.
Seriously do we have to have another rent vs buy debate. :eek:Please remember other opinions are available.0 -
at the end of the mortgage period you own your property , renters just carry on pouring their money down the drain

But a lot of renters find there are some perks to their way of living! No maintenance, being able to move on a whim if neighbours turn out to be internet wierdos or something, not being at the peril of rising / falling interest rates etc. I'm happy, you're happy, why the condescending post?0
