    I decided to buy as I don’t need to move around much, and I vastly prefer fixing stuff myself rather than paying for someone to do it for me. (When other people fix shit, it’s either expensive or sub-par)

      It’s usually both, and it usually takes more of your time to arrange things than to fix it.

        I’ll work on complicated 12V no problem, but prefer leaving even fairly simple 240V to pros.

            If my car burns down, it burns down. I’ll buy a similarly priced beater.

            If I get electrocuted with 240, I could die though. Plus if my house burns down it’s gonna be a bit of a bigger deal than the car

    I assure you the renter pay more than the land lords expenses

    Rule of thumb ive heard a few times is, if you plan on living there at least 5 years, buy it

    Of course most people don’t buy, and renting its their only option, but not always. I got a well paid colleague who is renting and has no plan on buying anything. Its just not for everyone.

    Of course it also very much depend where you live.
