Homeownership! Renting vs buying a home
Could it actually be healthy for you to own your own home? Apparently so according to this US News article.
It makes sense though doesn't it? If you were able to make all the decisions yourself what a difference it would make on your well being. You would be able to take more pride in the home in which you live, adding to and changing the landscape, removing walls that no longer worked in your home and even painting the kids bedrooms the colours they wanted rather than what you're landlord wanted.
We rented for the first 8 years of marriage in 5 different houses and it wasn't until we built and moved into our own home that life looked a little more stable. We planted a garden (you can see it here) and we started to take more pride in the home we lived in.
Homeownership is by far the best thing we've ever done and it's showing up in research studies that it is a good thing for society.
