Do you see this as a temporary or permanent situation in your life? What is your "end game" so to speak?

> What is your "end game" so to speak?

One very reasonable 'end game' for those who do not want to own is to invest enough cash in the stock market so that your rate of return supersedes your rent, thus guaranteeing that, if rent increases are within reason, you are able to finance renting interminably. Stock markets typically have a higher rate of return than real estate, so...

Nothing is permanent. The end game is death.
Permanent.

Buying a home is a bad investment, because I could have all that money getting 7% returns in the stock market.
