if you invest the money you save by renting...it is a financial no brainer...but buying forces saving so it's the best way for many people to build their assets.
The tax system is too skewed in favour of unproductive assets ie bricks and mortar which don't create real wealth, we need the government to encourage innovation and entrepreunership, not just asset speculation.
I own a house and it is good to own a piece of land but I know there are more productive ways to spend my money.
