ieGod@lemmy.zip 14 hours agoThis is one of the greatest myths out there. Renting usually comes out ahead by the numbers. Ramit Setgi has a lot to say on the topic, with a US focus. Ben Felix has the same perspective for the Canadian side. Home owners by and large aren’t honest with themselves about the total cost of ownership.

yeah i was gonna say, some dude published an analysis of the total cost of buying a house / renting an apartment + investing in stocks for the same total yearly expenses and found that with the second option, you end up having more wealth at retirement age.
i can’t find the study rn but i’m sure i remember it.
