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?

{thearbitrator ] it is not always your choice and i agree with you . taking on a mortgage is a big responsibility . it maybe a cowards way to some renting but there is less risk involved

@smiler2012 You never really own anything anyway. The government could hike your property taxes 100% at any moment.
