  1) Don't plan on renting your whole life because inflation will catch up with you.
Can you please explain this in more detail ?

Unless you have saved a lot of money, you will be living on a fixed income in retirement, while rents will continue to increase. I'm not saying buy a house today, just be very careful as you get older that you have hedged against inflation for the basic need of shelter.
