I’m addicted too, I have thought many times myself about the same thing your post is about. My wife and I moved here, can only rent, and we both sometimes think what is going on.
The good thing though, both our incomes took a nice jump moving here, so we actually have more money now then we did back home.
There is a lot to be said though about owning your own place, and having the opportunity to plant a tree and watch it grow in your yard.
