Well as I said it was my wife’s “plan” not mine. The problem with the renting idea is that it’s a substandard lifestyle for us. My wife is a habitual decorator and very good at it, but there’s no way a landlord would let her make a bunch of changes and no way I’d let her pay to upgrade someone else’s property. Secondly, it’s just not a big savings even though I have a damn big mortgage. I can’t wait another 3 years because my kids will be out of high school in 5-6 years so I’m not going to deprive them of a great environment in the meantinem to save a few bucks. If it were already 2014 and the kids were at college it would be a much different story.
