> Renting IS throwing money away if your goal is to maximize wealth

I never said that was my goal.

> To try and claim you're generating more wealth by renting just isn't true.

I never claimed this. I have rented and I have generated wealth, however.

> To be suspicious of everyone who makes such a mild claim is a microchasm of why the world is going to hell in a handbasket.

It's usually because these people refuse to believe there's any benefit to renting and jump to conclusions and claim I said things I never said.

I wonder if I can find an example of such a situation?

Ignored this line by me huh? Convenient. Or, to you your word, suspicious.

> To claim you're living the lifestyle you prefer, great.

No, I saw it. Congrats on getting one thing not completely wrong. Go for two next time. No point in trying to be perfect all at once.
