Forsaking travels, family, dinners or other activities to earn/save money for the sake of owning your own house may not give a better life in the long run. Loans, repairs, taxes etc. may cause worries. The pleasure of owning a property soon becomes a habit, and the responsibilities takes up your time and decide your priorities.
So why not try to think differently, after all people who rent a place is not more unhappy that those that own their own. Money saved for repairs could be spent making a nice travel to a place you never visited before, family activities, or you could sell your property and go volunteer working for a year or two! That would bring even more meaning into life, and boost the healthy ways of happiness!Read more in the New York Times.
