The town is growing too fast, but already the appraisal of my house has more than doubled and my neighbors have offered to buy me out at exactly double, so I have a buyer

One day I'd like to move to a SMALLER town that won't grow and stay forever - which is what I thought I was doing here, lol. But I learned to take advantage of the growth and started buying up lots I guess lots aren't really owning real estate though since there's no bedroom

Owing one is different from renting one.

Matches a late model piece of shit car.

I've rented many times. It's very convenient to rent especially if you don't want to have to worry about repairs. The last house I rented I lived next to my landlord. When the toilet backed up, it sure was nice to go outside and walk a few steps on a Saturday night and get a plumber out that night for free

If you're not going to stay somewhere for more than 2-3 years it actually makes more sense to rent, IME.

And I'm not sure you should be throwing stones about cars

I take it as a compliment as long as it's the truth.

Still not sure what it has to do with renting or owning a condo......
