In some countries, owning a home rather than renting one is very important for people. Why might this be the case? Do you think this is a positive or negative situation?

Nowadays, many
people
often have many options
such
as owning an important
home
or renting. In my opinion,
this
is a difficult problem, buying a private
house
makes us feel more comfortable but renting a private
house
can be less expensive. There are two opposing views on
this
matter. Many
people
think that owning their own
home
will save
money
.
For example
, when
people
own a
home
, they do not have to pay monthly
rent
and use that
money
to buy things they like.
Moreover
, they are
also
free to do what they like
such
as organizing parties, taking you
home
to play, and having a comfortable, spacious space. If they
rent
a
house
, they need to spend a certain
amount
of
money
every month to pay the
rent
. And if in that month they lose their job or have their salary deducted, they will not have
money
to pay their landlord, and even not enough
money
to pay for other living expenses.
Moreover
, it's not a
house
, so if
people
want to hold a party or sing karaoke, they must ask the landlord if he agrees or not. And with
such
a small space, it seems that all activities will be more cramped.
However
, again and again, owning a
home
is not as easy as we think and has negative consequences. To have a
house
of our own, we need a large
amount
of
money
. If we live in the countryside, we need to spend
money
to buy land, buy construction materials, design
money
and build. If they want to buy a
house
in the city, the
amount
is even larger because the space in the city is very high.
For example
, in Vietnam, an apartment building costs 5 billion, and every month we earn 20 million, it takes about 20 years to buy that
house
, but it is not certain that 20 years later, its price will standstill.
As a result
, they will think of methods of mortgaging their property or borrowing, if the monthly salary is not enough to pay them, they will think of measures
such
as robbery or fraud, which negatively affect their future. surname.
Therefore
, the
people
who can buy that
house
are mostly from the upper classes. And if they choose to
rent
a
house
, they will save
money
to buy a
house
and use that
money
to save, if needed, they can withdraw and use it at any time. In summary, everyone wants to own their own
home
instead
of living in a rented
house
for the rest of their life, but not everyone can afford to buy it.
Therefore
, if you want to buy a
house
, you need a large
amount
of
money
, a generous budget, if you don't want to be in debt, you can choose to
rent
a
house
, and in the future, if you become rich, you can buy a
house
later.
