Comment on Owning Your Own Home Is Even More Stupid Than Running Your Own Servers

Comments

I'm paying less for my 240m² house that I own than I did when I when I was renting a 70m² apartment a year ago. I live in a better neighborhood with three times the space and with every monthly payment I'm building my net worth. I take ownership of my home and learn skills to maintain and repair it. I run around naked with really loud music at night and it's nobody's business but mine. Feels great. Also free parking and I'm growing food that I eat. Neat. There is no doubt that owning my home is a lot better for me than renting, both economically and living standard wise.

As for the server: excluding third party physical access is a major security feature.

I should have clarified that this applies to the US.
