[QUOTE="roadracer247, post: 16198298, member: 21803"] Taxes and liability aside, it’s worth owning for me. For one, it gives my family stability. We don’t have to worry about moving or getting evicted. I also think it’s good for a kids self-esteem to know their family owns their home. It’s also good for kids to stay in the same school system. Changing schools can be difficult for kids. Especially in those awkward pre-teen/teen years. The other big reason I bought was to plan for retirement. At my current pace I’ll have my house paid off a few years before my projected retirement age. That’s a big deal. I also like the pride in taking care of my own house. And not having to ask anyone if I want to do something to my house/property. Homes are expensive. Things break and you have to fix them. If you can’t do it, you’ll have to pay someone else. I don’t think home ownership is for everyone. That said, if you have a steady income and a family, I think it’s absolutely worth it. Just don’t buy more house than you can afford. Nobody enjoys being house poor. I ended up buying in a town that I hadn’t really ever considered years prior. It has turned out to be great. I love my block, neighbors, and the weather is fantastic. Good schools too. That’s a biggie for the parents out there!! [/QUOTE]
