My rent is around 1800 euro, if I’d buy this apartment, my mortgage would be around 3000. That’s for more than half a mil. After 30 years I’d have paid off more than a mil.

The company I rent from just got their financing much earlier, and in very big quantities. (Eg it has 100s to 1000s apartments and houses.)

Every year I make more money, every year the place I live is more difficult to buy.

One key difference between renting and buying is that you can then sell the apartment or house. You can’t claw back rent after being a good tenant for 30 years.

True true, I try to invest most of the difference, hopefully that will be worth something too when I need it.
