    I know several people who sold their homes and moved into apartments because they were sick of the hassle of home ownership.

    If you’re going to lie, at least make it believable.

      How is this not believable lol? You act like renting is some kind of degradation and owning is some kind of release from slavery.

      Lots of things about home ownership suck donkey balls, and there are lots of benefits to renting. I’ve done both for significant chunks of my adult life, and while my life situation is currently such that I prefer owning my place, I can absolutely see myself opting to rent under certain circumstances.
