agree. home ownership is about creating wealth for yourself instead of making the landlord rich. There are many millennials who are living with their parents instead of pissing away money every month for rent, and then using the saved money from their job to buy a home, achieving financial independence. With renting, you're never are able to achieve independence, since you're constantly draining money, and the rate of rent, especially since 2011, has far, far exceed inflation.
