5 reasons for the childless to buy a house:
1. It's cheaper overall than renting
2. You can do what you want with it
3. After you retire you really don't want to be paying rent because your pension will likely be a lot less than you're used to living on
4. When you need to go into a home you can sell it and you'll be set up in cushy comfort for the rest of your days
But most importantly...
5. If you don't have kids you'll save yourself at least a house's worth of money so you might as well treat yourself to a house |
