Not sure how long the parent has rented for but there is definitely a point, especially if you have children, where you realize having your own home is really important so you can express yourself without fear of eviction.

I always wanted to build a home gym and have a workshop, I have these things now, I never could before, I'm happier now than I was before, it was something I really wanted to do with my life, rent doesn't allow you to do those things, most of the time anyway.
