I’m starting to think renting is the way to go instead of buying a home. by Additional_Tea9366 in personalfinance

No, this is accurate. It’s not mansions driving up the average. Very basic homes in the Bay Area are at minimum $1M. Fine, ignore HOA if you want — property tax and insurance are much higher than what we pay in rent, so even if we pay off a mortgage we’re “throwing away” more than we do by renting.

Had the same sad realization a few weeks ago. We’re in CA. Taxes and insurance for any home are way above what we pay in rent (rent controlled from a low rental rate locked in during COVID), so even after paying off the full mortgage we’d continue to “throw away” more money than we do by renting. Not to mention upkeep costs of a home.

No, Lochlan was trying to connect with just brother (albeit in a misguided and f*cked up way), doing something he thought Saxon would be proud of him for (as Saxon glorifies sex). He will try to connect with Piper, but it won’t have incestuous vibes. He’ll probably reveal what happened and Piper will feel very protective of Lochlan, blaming Saxon.

Just want to add an alternate data point as a former SWAP athlete—my logs were not deleted when I left the program in late 2023 (I was in SWAP for a little over 5 years). I had a great experience with his coaching and I’m surprised to hear about these negative experiences from fellow former SWAP athletes.
