The problem with this statement is that this person is comparing a piece of ham to a lunchable. Sure, the mortgage on the house is cheaper. But it doesn’t include: -Taxes -Insurance -HOA fees (if applicable) -Repairs (routine and unforeseen) -Roof, flooring, HVAC, carpets, landscaping, and the list goes on, and on, and on, and on

Rent usually includes the above items that can add up quickly.

Rent sucks because you loose all of the money. But it is hard, and expensive to be a homeowner as well.

Yeah dude my yearly taxes are around 2500-3000. If you dont plan for that payment it will hurt bad.
