It is true that in some countries
people

 tend to own a home
instead

 of renting one. There are several reasons for
this
Linking Words
 and it seems to me that the situation is largely negative. The reason why
people

 prefer buying a
house
Use synonyms
 may involve the recognition that
people
Use synonyms
 who rent a
house
Use synonyms
 are constantly in fear of rent increases and eviction.
By contrast
Linking Words
, those who have owned a permanent place have the freedom to decorate a satisfactory
house

 for themselves. They tend to feel safer because of the emotional comfort and the sense of belonging a
house

 provides.
In addition

, homeownership is often regarded as a way to build wealth as
house
Use synonyms
 prices tend to be higher in the long term. In my perspective, it would be wrong to advocate buying a
house
Use synonyms
. Buying a
house

 often requires a huge amount of financial leverage which makes up nearly all of one’s monthly payments. In order to maintain a stable source of income,
people

 will suffer from being overwhelmed, worry about losing their jobs and eventually lead to mental illness.
Besides

, if everyone pursues buying houses, the prices will go higher and higher, leading to the fact that there will be a group of
people

 who will never be able to buy a
house

.
Therefore
Linking Words
, renting and buying are both viable options, and whether to buy a
house

 should depend on one’s real financial situation and think twice. In conclusion,
while

 the reason why
people

 choose to buy a
house

 is understandable, I believe everyone should think of their own situation and make the right decision.
