       | For people with "stable" life with kids and all that adult stuff
       | - do you feel having a house give you that guarantee of safety
       | net? I have thought along the lines of the author and many time
       | felt the urge of exactly doing that especially since I am priced
       | out of the real estate in the areas I live or want to live
       | anyway. Rent forever basically and live as a world citizen. But
       | then I think how terrible life must be to have to move when you
       | are 59 and still looking for a place to rent or even worse have
       | to force your kids abandon their friends so frequently in their
       | childhood days.

         | children because we can't be confident about being able to give
         | them a decent life, and it will be that way for as long as our
         | landlord is in charge.
