'Renting is throwing money away' but a 30-year mortgage where the first decade is almost pure interest to a bank isn't? Run the actual numbers before you preach.

Rented my whole life, invested the difference, and I'm freer and richer than friends house-poor on a place that owns THEM. It can absolutely work.

The math depends entirely on your city and how long you stay. Anyone giving a one-size answer is selling something, usually a course.

A paid-off house at 60 vs a renter at the mercy of a landlord raising it 15% a year. I know which retirement I want.
