Looks great. Thanks for hosting!
To clarify… its not that I think renting is better ALWAYS - because I think that home ownership should be a personal goal for everyone. However, I think there is something to be said for buying when it is right for the individual - and not rushing into buying just because it is the smart thing to do. Every major financial decision - like buying a house - takes time to plan. For people right out of college with no savings, buying is not the answer.
As always, a lot of excellent content this week - thanks for hosting!
