Think of it like this... if you can't cover your needs you are indeed poor.
Contrary to the stereotype of the poor, I try to look and plan ahead for future needs. (There's a difference between thinking about future needs and being able to prepare adequately for them.)
Why do I get the feeling "it wasn't my fault that I didn't succeed" is a well worn theme with you?
If you want to figure out why you've achieved about as much as a high school graduate, look here first. This attitude gets you nowhere, nor does obsessing over the value of an ex-girlfriends house.

This is a simple fact; I was born too late to get rich working in a NYC subway token booth; all the valuable coins were gone by the time I was old enough to work that job.

Renting is where - in the absence of rent control or stabilization - you cannot control your future (housing financial) needs.
As I like to put it,
10 years ago I couldn't afford to buy, which is why today I can't afford to rent.
how are your food costs , energy costs , medical costs and any other costs in life locked in either ?
again , renting isn't the issue , many rent their entire lives and are financially successful .
you are the problem , not the rent . you failed to earn an adequate living that supports you . that is the issue , not the rent
for 40 years , at the end of the day despite some of the engineering stuff i did i bought a box and sold a box as an electrical wholesaler . i did very well selling those boxes others created .
as an investor i let my money work for me as well . i took the risk i would lose it or the risk i gave up other opportunity's by buying what i did and i expected to be compensated for taking that risk .
i want that compensation to be the max i can get , the same as all of us want as pay from our jobs .
the same way you couldn't care less about your boss's personal expenses the reality is as a landlord i couldn't care less about yours . you want to use my money invested in my property , you will pay for that privilege and pay as much as the market will let me earn .
