At home, we're looking to achieve more autonomy. For now, we live in an apartment almost in the center of the city. Going out of the city a bit right now wouldn't be the best idea... but we're on the way there.

For me owning my home is more about autonomy and agency. I have reduced the number of people that can restrict what I might want to do. I don't have to ask permission so much. Now, that isn't as important to others maybe but it is to me. Also one reason I don't live in a city. One less government body restricting me. There are always trade-offs. There are no solutions. Just trade-offs.

Buy or rent? Which do you think is the best decision right now?

Thank you very much, my friend... very good advice... I'm going to keep it in mind... really, for now we can't buy a house, but we're working towards that... little by little, I think that first piece of advice about whether having a house could fix any problem that might occur is a good starting point.
