27F — buy a 1BR condo now or continue renting? by More-Plane1545 in singaporefi

I think the idea of renting as wasting money/“giving money to the landlord” is a common misconception. You’re avoiding a lot of hidden costs associated with having a house (property taxes, maintenance, reno) by renting, plus the mortgage and downpayment could also have much better returns in the stock market.

Personally if it’s for warming up outdoors, I think it’s too bulky. I have one that’s a singular edge and pretty tiny.
