...what is the term for those who spend too much on home rentership?


A house poor is a situation that describes a person who spends a large proportion of his or her total income on home ownership, including mortgage payments, property taxes, maintenance and utilities. House poor individuals are short of cash for discretionary items and tend to have trouble meeting other financial obligations like vehicle payments.

11 million renters spend at least half their income on shelter. They're all foolish?

If you spent as much energy trying to better your life as you did lamenting how your life is miserable and it's all the fault of being a renter, you might see some improvements in your situation.

just a thought

Actually, North American housing and land use markets are very UNfree because government artificially restricts the supply and variety of housing which can be built.

Japan doesn't have a NIMBY problem like we do.
