case.
First,
thinking that having a
house
of your own is related by many to status. Naturally, purchasing a
house
or apartment involves big amounts of money, which is not something the average citizen accounts for today. Especially now that the world is facing a housing crisis, prices have skyrocketed which makes it even harder for members of society to get their own property.
Hence
, buying a property has become a symbol of money and status in today's society.
Secondly
, living under your own roof provides a sense of stability. Those who own their own places know that, in the case of unexpected events
