Why throw your money away on a mortgage, maintenance, property taxes, and insurance, when you can rent instead?
I pointed out in March that housing is a horrible investment unless we get inflation. A new study takes it even further: even during the past 30 years of phenomenal home price inflation, renters were better off than buyers.

Timing is everything. No regrets about renting for the 7 years of the bubble, and no regrets about my new $1800 mortgage. Pretty sure in ten years that will be chump change.
Sarah,
From your lips to Zimbabwe Ben's ears. Now I need that bastard to bail me out on my silver and gold as well as my house.
Patience my wise friend. They can slow down the inflation tsunami some, but they can't the super nova coming our way.
