If after reading this you're still feeling bad when someone a lot older than you says, “You'll never build equity by being a renter,” know that you can create an almost equal playing field financially by saving and investing more. Some renters like to sock away the difference in value between rent versus the full cost of home ownership, on top of their regular savings.

:redl#ight: :mar#seycope: :redlig#ht:

property investors are going to charge enough rent to cover the mortgage as well as incidental repairs, and come out with a little extra on top.

if you rent you are most likely already paying the full cost of home ownership, you're just building equity in someone else's property in exchange for having them handle the legwork of calling someone to fix shit when it breaks - with the money they set aside from your rent.

That comparison makes sense if you're renting a whole house for the long term, but renting avoids transaction costs of purchasing and selling a home, and for a rental apartment there might not be an equivalent purchase available. There's also less risk with diverse investments versus going all-in on land that you're also trying to live on.

The first strike against women will be to quarantine all of them in concentration camps. At these camps, the vast majority of the female population will be deliberately starved to death. That would be an efficient and fitting way to kill them all off. I would take great pleasure and satisfaction in condemning every single woman on earth to starve to death. I would have an enormous tower built just for myself, where I can oversee the entire concentration camp and gleefully watch them all die. If I can't have them, no one will. Women represent everything that is unfair with this world, and in order to make the world a fair place, they must all be eradicated.
