Participant[quote=desmond]How many homeowners actually stay in the same house for 30 years and pay it off and want to retire in that same house? Also, if you become disabled you will end up not being able to take care of yourself let alone your old house. I guess all those retiree’s in those active living places are being used for slave labor by those nasty landlords.[/quote]
I can’t speak for everybody but my parents and many of my aunts and uncles bought 1 house and lived in it for well over 20 years and they’re still there today. They have no plans to move, so I’m sure their mortgage will be paid off by the time they’re retired. Several of my neighbors also have bought their houses from the early 80s, so, they’ll be coming up to the end of their 30 year mortgage in a year or two. I’m sure they’re not moving anywhere anytime soon.Also, with your disabled argument, why not say, if you go outside, you can get in a car accident and die. So why bother saving. Just spend every dollar you have since no one know how long they’ll live.
Participant[quote=deadzone]Yes there are advantages/disadvantages to both owning and renting. But you guys with your “american dream” non-sense is tiring. For anyone who bought between 2004 and 2007, how is your dream working out for you?[/quote]
Most of us on here did not bought between 04-07. If you look back at the threads going on between 04-07, we were bitching at how expensive homes are. But I did buy in 2008 and my mortgage is cheaper than comparable rent. I know that for the next 30 years, I’ll have the same mortgage. I can’t say the same if I’m renting the same house. So far, it’s working out pretty good. Every month I’m living in here, I’m saving money.Participant[quote=deadzone]Yes there are advantages/disadvantages to both owning and renting.

On weekends when the typical homeowner is spending all day at Home Depot, I am surfing or playing golf. Yeah you guys are right, home ownership rules and renting just kills your quality of life.[/quote]
I lived in my house for 3 years and my toilet haven’t broken once. How often does your toilet break? The biggest advantage buying have over renting is, in 30 years, all you’ll be paying for is the taxes and insurance on it while if you rent, you’ll have to deal with a much bigger expense. Dealing with rent on a fixed income won’t be fun. You’re at the mercy of your landlord. Much easier to retire with a peace of mind when you know or can predict all of your expenses. In 30 years, most of the money I save for retirement will all go to fun stuff. If I rent indefinitely, I would have to use some of the money I save for retirement for shelter. I would be scared to death if there’s any major inflation period while I’m renting and retired on fixed income.Participant[quote=deadzone]Alternately, while my landlord is dealing with the plumbing and other maintenance issues, I am out surfing or playing golf.
