For me, the biggest 'cost' seems to be peace of mind. I rent my place, and even thinking about all this home owner sh!te gives me a headache.

To each their own, and I'm probably pissing money away, but I want to live with the feeling that I can quit this 'housing subscription' (that's what it is, just another subscription) within a month and not even have to think about it.

Meanwhile italian subscriptions have on average 6 months notice in advance for quitting it...
And be homeless, if you are truly not thinking (and assuredly acting) about it. It’s not “just another subscription” in many ways. The idea of renting being the “peace of mind” choice rings false with me.
