renting - buying

[PGS28]

Rent truly is ridiculous, especially in bigger cities, I hope your situation gets resolved soon.

I am currently separated and my husband lives in the house we bought together 9 years ago. I am renting and paying rent. What sucks is that my rent and all involved is more than paying the mortgage and insurance/taxes, etc and my house is smaller than 'our' house. Rent is outrageously priced.

Well said.

Whether you rent or buy is very individualized and depends on your particular circumstances.  At this point in life, I am considering my options.  I presently live in a house that I have lived in since 1988.  It is paid for but is demanding a lot of upkeep and investment to maintain soon.  I am looking at buying a different home, perhaps a condo, or possibly a manufactured home or just renting an apartment. They all have pluses and minuses, but I have to look where I am in my lifespan and my capabilities and desires.
