Would you say that a person who prefers to rent rather than own/buy a house isn't financially stable?

Someone told me that I wasn't financially stable because I opt to rent instead of purchase a home. What does that have to do with being financially stable?

Renting vs buying a home is a viable option for many people. Some folks just don't want the responsibility of home ownership and all the problems it brings. Let the owner worry about replacing the roof, repairing the plumbing, paying the taxes, etc.
