Considering the cost of building a dream home, that is very expensive these days, most people see rentals as the cheapest option to save cost. People around me wants to own a home regardless of how expensive it is.
Everyone has their option in times like this and I will always choose house leasing. Paying for a home for the next 15 years, keeps me at peace for me to own my home within that period.
Sometimes what seems too much expensive will not be when someone has started it, some think that rental might be a good means of avoiding to own a house because of how expensive it might seem for them but to me is not a means of saving and on the contrary is a means of loosing money because if those money the person is paying should be use into there own house it would have been a good utilisation of the money, I'm not saying rental is not good but I'm saying that while on the rental the person should think about how they could repurpose those yearly rent in bringing a permanent roof over there head.
