If You've Decided To Never Be A Homeowner, Tell Us Why

Normalize doing what's best for *you*.

Buying a home is often seen as a sign of financial success—so much so that people sometimes get pressured by loved ones to "hurry up and buy." But for some people, being a homeowner just isn't something they're after.

So if you've decided that you don't want to be a homeowner, tell us why!

Maybe you love traveling around and don't want to be tied down to one home in one location for a long, long time.

Or perhaps you just have no interest in dealing with *all* the upkeep that comes with the territory — maintaining your yard, fixing a leaky roof, replacing all broken appliances, paying for renovations, and more.

Or maybe it's actually cheaper to rent in your city and you don't see a need to spend more on a mortgage, insurance, property taxes, and HOA fees.

Tell us why you've decided to rent forever and not buy a house. You could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post.
