Renting a house on average has been experienced by every human being who has a mediocre economic income, but that doesn't mean that every money we spend every month/year is an act of waste, many people who rent a place to live are forward-thinking for their future.
By renting a house someone can think of working hard to earn their economy, they think it is impossible forever we live in a state of living in a rented place, a lot can be done for €25,000.
Example:
If you spend €25,000 in 6 years, that means you spend €347/month in 72 months=6 years.
If, you are thinking of looking for a credit house with installments of €347/month in 6 years, maybe you should do it, in my opinion, a simple type of house can already be with installments of that size, automatically within 6 years you already have your own home, if you think rent is wasteful.
Returning to the concerns raised by the OP, when the location of one's home is highly incompatible with the workplace, it inevitably results in additional daily expenses for the individual. This is quite understandable, as urban housing prices are significantly higher compared to rural areas.
If you work in the city while residing in a village, there will be extra costs incurred every day for commuting to work. This leads to an inflated budget for housing. Taking into account the nature of one's occupation and the extent of their needs greatly influences the decision-making process in determining whether to rent a home or pursue a mortgage.
