    Well, the thing is you never really own it. Don’t pay your property taxes and insurance, see what happens.

    Buying makes sense if you’re going to leave that property to children or relatives.

      What is the point of this comment? As long as you live in society you will be paying taxes. Death and taxes are the two global absolutes, and an argument could be made that death may be ultimately beatable.

        I’m not anti-tax. I’m just stating the fact that in the United States, and many other countries, you never actually “own” your residence.
