this isn't a secret...

...but apparently it's not something i've widely advertised. i don't particularly want to own a home. and apparently i'm a financial idiot for not wanting to do so. at the moment...i'm okay with that. someone give me a good reason why and then i'll change my mind.

Don't know what the situation's like where you are but every property which we've bought has greatly increased in value and enabled us to move closer to our ideal house. I think we've been very fortunate as many couples/singles cannot afford to get on the property ladder in the UK now as prices have risen dramatically and continue to rise.
Having no other investments, our property is our primary asset and is well worth all the costs and bother of maintenance for that fact alone plus the compelling reason of it being our family home where our kids have built many happy memories.
Just my two cents.

gack....it sounds so...sensible. but i don't have an "ideal house." heck, an apartment might be my ideal house. well...and a house large enough to have a west wing. but even then, it's gotta be a stone's throw from a metropolis

Sensible? That's me. LOL. Seriously, it's a big financial commitment and if your personal circumstances and renting suit you, then why bother taking on a mortgage? Renting has never been a smart option in the places where I've lived plus kids need space! so, enjoy your freedom from homeowner woes!
