@christopher0121 Lol. I had a close friend move from Vancouver to Langley and we went from seeing each other once a week to a few times a year. Social circles do not maintain well over distances.

@fby The specifics of my situation don’t matter. The premise that renting is “throwing away money” and that homeownership doesn’t involve exactly that, is faulty and leads people to buying when they can’t really afford it. But it makes no difference to me whether people do so or not.

@fby We bought for non-financial reasons, like stability for our 2 school aged kids, and it’s not a burden as we can afford it. But the idea that renting is throwing money away, and that owning does not include non-recoverable costs as well, is still false.

@romanticcode All the interest I pay also just disappears into a hole. And it’s way more than the rent I used to pay.
