The desire to have their own housing often deprives people of the ability to think adequately and drives them into real financial slavery. Yes, it is very difficult to move from place to place, but it is also not very reasonable to pay exorbitant amounts of expensive loans on a monthly basis in a bloated real estate market. Few people will argue with the fact that buying apartments in Moscow or Kiev is less financially profitable than renting for the same 20 years.

That's what happened to me, and you?
