So here&#x27;s a question: <i>why</i> do you absolutely need to <i></i>own<i></i> a house? I&#x27;m 28, still haven&#x27;t figured out why people are so obsessed with the idea of owning.<p>What practical benefits does it give you? All I can see are many many downsides.<p>edit: I can see it making more sense if you can pay the whole sum in full on the day of purchase.
