What could go wrong?
I suggest taking all your money out and buying gold and silver.
The Federal Reserve is going to hyper inflate your money away anyway.

If you were trying to buy today I kind of get it as prices and interest rates are a bit high, but the longer you wait to own the more it’s highly likely to bite you in the ass in the long run
I bought mid 2021 and it’s the best decision I ever made. To each their own though

Same, 2020 for meIf you were trying to buy today I kind of get it as prices and interest rates are a bit high, but the longer you wait to own the more it’s highly likely to bite you in the ass in the long run

Home is worth more than what I paid, don't have neighbors on top of me or thin walls where I can hear them, don't have people with keys to my home...
I remember back in like 2017 when I was living in the leasing office, a water heater went out at a person's apartment and they tried to kick my door down because it was Christmas day and nobody was open to get another water heater from...
Best decision I ever made
Yeah I noticed many people who say don't buy a house experienced a major personal financial downturn in the past where they were stuck paying a mortgage or several mortgages they couldn't afford and lost their home or several homes. It seems like those experiences were understandably traumatic and shaped how they view homeownership.

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
Dont buy a home buy keep paying bozos like him to tell us what to do huh?
My house is paid off
Haven't worked since November
Don't need to
I have no bills, with money saved up+investments. I run a small mobile business that i can put out on the road whenver I feel like it.
at everybody I see in my neighborhood scurrying around like rats shoveling the snow when it's 10 degrees pitch black outside cause they 50+ with jobs and car payments 
Stop wasting your money on dumb shyt to impress people who ain't got shyt neither. Ride a bike, ride the bus, do whatever u gotta do. Nothing beats the financial freedom of owning your own house
Basic maintenance should not be an issue, Ive fixed plenty of things that would've cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars just by watching YouTube tutorials. Better than dealing with rent increases
They don't want you buying a house cause it releases u from this rat race everyone is trapped in. The system wants u to work til u get sick and die
If u wanna be seventy years old struggling to walk and having to pay the rent or be homeless at the end of the month, that's on you.
I'd rather live my golden years in comfort

At a point where this may have to be the mentality moving forward...
most people are spending at minimum 2/3+ of their income to rent. its absurd and predatory to claim this wouldn't be better served to finance their own property. people who make this kind of content often own multiple home and need you clocking in. home ownership is the 1st staple of economic health.
If youre single and no family then yea dont buy a house. But if you got a family a house is better all around.
All of the responses about "my house went from $XXX,000 to $XXX,000" lend to the point.
How many actual people/families can buy your house in 2026?
