    It was a Lemmy comment. I don’t think you should expect a college course lecture on the subject.

    Ultimately though, the comment stands. You’re either enabling somebody else to be more wealthy, or you’re enabling yourself to become more wealthy. The choice is yours.

        You’re either enabling somebody else to be more wealthy, or you’re enabling yourself to become more wealthy. The choice is yours.

        I know you’re just stating an opinion, but that last sentence is downright insulting to me.

        (I’m including above the whole statement and just bolding the part that you included when you did your reply.)

        I meant no disrespect. I personally was a high school dropout from a broken home (and the emotional baggage that goes with that) but was still able to purchase a house, so I know it’s doable.

        Having said that, I wasn’t judging you personally. I wasn’t even addressing you directly. I was just expressing a generic opinion about the pros and cons of purchasing versus renting to a wide audience. If that statement felt like an insult to you personally, then you need to look within.

        I wish you well and happiness.
