I'm over 40 and own my home. It's not always great. I have to pay for everything to be fixed. If I want to move...I have to find a buyer first. Upkeep....it's overrated.

Yep. There's something to be said for renting. Its certainly not practical, but it's very comforting to know I don't have to replace my HVAC tomorrow if it stops working.

I owned a home for a few years and sold it to move across the country. It was a relief to know I didn't have to pay that mortgage for the next 25 years.

I do love mortgage interest deduction, though!
