I Am Thinking
  • Um. Which would be better...?
  • What?
  • Should I rent or buy?
  • Are you talking about a house?
  • Yes. Until you buy, you need to pay rent, so I assume it would be better to purchase.
  • That depends on how you think about it. Purchasing a house takes a large amount of money, and that can be really stressful. The decision to rent or buy depends on your family and on what's convenient for you.
  • Yeah. Renting a house is little bit cheaper but I'd be paying for something that won't be mine forever.
  • In my case, I'm not going to buy a house. I don't wanna live my life just to pay for such an expensive thing and then end up tied down to the same place with such a huge debt.
  • Absolutely! It's not a small amount of money. I can't imagine making such a big purchase. But there are advantages and disadvantages to both renting and buying.
  • In the end, it is up to you to decide what you want to do. If you want to buy, why don't you just think about paying in installments? Then if you find a house that you like, you can keep paying for the house, and that will be yours someday.
  • I like the way you think! I'll discuss this with my husband at home. Thanks a million!
  • It's my pleasure. I hope you find a place that you like.
