Paying $3,000 rent per month is slavery,

From Goran
"In the end, you have to do what makes sense for your situation. Compare rent vs buy, and which ever comes up with the lower cost to live under a roof, go for that one."
It's not just about lowest cost. One of my biggest fears of owning is getting into a neighborhood I like and then having nightmare neighbors move in. Most people I know who own have at least one neighbor who sucks the enjoyment out of being at home. If you rent, you can stay out your lease (or not) and move. Even in a country property, you have the weird, creepy guy who shoots at things in the middle of the night, or the guy with a huge grow operation and sketchy people at all hours. - On 29 May 2013

800k house just sold on my street in April, and it's 6 people, multi-generational style, in a 3 bedroom house.
Are you kidding me? 2 people per room is nothing. My parents raise 5 kids in a 3/2 1,100 square ft. house in a formerly great school district. We always had lots of friends over too (no wonder my dad converted half the garage into his office). It never seemed that small to little ones. - On 28 May 2013

Just this morning I sort of summed it up for myself in reaction to a much younger coworker who purchased a home in downtown Los Gatos years ago. I said, "If I had played my cards right, I could own a great house in a really great town, but back then I wasn't even playing cards." So there. I don't feel so bad anymore.
