my coworker just posted: "We are joining the adult world as new Homeowners!!!"
so, if you're just living in a rental property, despite having really good credit, earning at middle class income or above and supporting immediate families/relatives, you're not a "real" adult?
...despite having really good credit, earning at middle class income or above

There are a lot of good reasons for people in this category to choose to not buy a home.
For some it's about a temporary situation for others it's an overall "lifestyle" choice.
The problem is that few of them will compensate for those choices with other economic measures.
Don't be them.

YES, that is the PREVAILING OPINION in this country. Renters have been regarded as second-class citizens from the Founding, at which time renters were not allowed to vote.
Renting and Home Ownership all have pros and cons. In many areas you can make a case for either and make a financially sound decision. There are other non financial factors as well that play into things.
Your friend is proud of their new home, they are tooting their horn a bit and for them it feels like a grown up move. Something they aspired to do. Naturally they talk about it with others.
You on the other hand have to be mature and understand that people speak from their own point of view and that will not always match yours. In other words, don't get all as s hurt over nothing. It isn't a hidden dig at you or anyone else.
since this is the renting forum, is everyone replying to my post still living on rental property? just curious as to your decision to rent instead of owning--apart from the obvious temporary situation of course.
i've had several retired patients who have gone the route of renting after having lived in their own homes to "downsize"--that is, not having to take care of maintenance, yard work, etc.
I feel joining the adult world is buying or renting because you are on your own.
