I can attest to this statement. My quality of life is SO MUCH better now than when I was renting. There’s something to be said about knowing your mortgage payment for 30 years. Even if I don’t have another raise for 30 years and my house does not increase in value for 30 years, I know I can afford the monthly payment easily while still be able to save for retirement/college/travel/etc. Also, in 30 years, I know I can retire and have very little expense for shelter.
