Hasn't it always been the case that single people rent, whereas couples buy houses? When you've got a family, that's the time to put roots down and hold your ground. Children are like little investments that mature in 20 years, with the payoff hopefully much greater than the cost.

If you are single and purchase property, you're simply tying yourself down unless you are in a unique situation.

Bingo! Found myself one time in life with a mortgage, single, and mowing lawns on my Sat. day off, when I should have been out exploring. Asking myself, what the heck am I doing? Never again. No point in putting roots down when you are single and free. Life is dynamic, the only constant...is change. A 30 year fixed is pretty damn constant and a person can easily become a slave to what they claim to own.
