I said that buying a home in your 20s isn't worth the money... here's what I mean Is this rage bait? itsjustryann 1d Reply ggjonnes Incorrect 5h Reply buying a house is such a good goal if you want a stable, settled life. a roof over your head, roots down, equity (if the market rewards you!), decision made once. if that's the life you want AND you can afford it for ~35 years, buy the house. BUT... that's just never been my goal. i'm entrepreneurial, i don't know where i'll end up, the world feels like my oyster right now. my money decisions need to match THAT and not tie me to a location equally, there isn't a price for a roof over your head in retirement. you can't be in your 70s worried about rent. for a lot of ppl, stability over your life and passing down something is more important than "making the best investment" plus in the UK, we're in a rentier's market, housing supply barely moves to meet demand, so rent keeps climbing regardless of what's fair that's part of why owning builds long term security. it's also part of why the deposit & mortgage have gotten so much harder to reach in the first place. NEITHER side of this is simple which is why i want to further reiterate my point: do what's right for YOU. don't rush or chase homeownership in your 20s if you're not sure what you want. financial goals are so important to get clear on. owning a home isn't the only way to invest OR build a future and it doesn't have to happen in your 20s for you to feel like you're doing life correctly 💖
