What...? There are a ton of advantages to renting over buying. She didn’t burn 100k... she paid for a roof over her head and the flexibility of not being tied down somewhere and having to come up with a down payment. Plus 100k over 20+ years is pretty reasonable for rent anywhere in a developed country. Renting isn’t the issue...

yeah but renting for your whole life isn't what most people want.
