by buying a house you get to be a wage slave for a couple dozen years, By renting you can be a wage slave for your whole life
By renting a home, you'll pay 1300 a month for the rest of your life.
By buying a home, you'll pay 800 dollars a month for the rest of your life, with the occasional 5 - 10 thousand dollars surprises every now and again.
Except in the end you can also sell that house for $600k-$900k+ at 65 years old then use half of that to rent the next 30 years and have the rest to do whatever the fuck you want.
And rent goes up. In 10 years, the mortgage will be the same.
