Upvoted. I have undergraduate commerce friends who want their degrees already so they can start on their mortgage. I asked them if they’d done a comparison with renting. They repeated the cached wisdom of “renting bad, mortgage good”, and “look everyone else is doing it”. I wish I had had this quote on hand—as it was I said something like “is everyone else mostly made up of commerce majors?” and didn’t really get my point across.
