He still doesn't have enough money to buy a house and he's been paying steadily-increasing rent for 10 years.\n\nThe other guy has been paying down his mortgage for a decade and even gets to write it off of his income tax. His housing costs never increase, he will eventually have it all paid off, and then he never needs to pay a mortgage or rent again.\n\nIt is. What it is."}
