I'm not talking about you specifically but renters in general. Below doesn't apply to all but a good majority.
I think home ownership is within reach of all, but it takes discipline, a few sacrifices, planning and a mindset to accumulate money and make sensible decisions. These type of people generally get luck go their way as they plan, anticipate and influence an outcome. Wealth builds wealth, there is constant progress and provides freedom and happiness.
On the other hand, renters are perceived to not being able to manage their money, to squander their money as soon as they see it, buy items that basically are disposable, pay unnecessary Interest for "must have" purchases to give them a perception they are doing well, likely smoke and drink and live beyond their means, but it all catches up with them, they open themselves up to chance / gambling for a silver bullet solution and feel hard done by as things seem to go against them. At the end of the year their isn't much to show for their work. So they are no closer to freedom as the money isn't there. Whilst the home owners are surging away financially
It's a mindset, nothing to do with what people own or not. Renting is more an outcome of different thinking. When we all come out of school ,s not many have much to start with but fast forward 15 years and you quickly see who made something for themselves and who is wasting their time. those decisions.
At a job interview, first question I'd ask if people own or rent (in an indirect question). One of the answers would end the interview there and then.
I wish I could go into schools and teach this to kids, they would all come out level headed.
