Renting Sucks

Do you have dreams? I'm not talking about the ones where you're flying, or where you are in your underwear at your grandparents house with all of you college buddies preparing to fix the time machine in order to go back to the future to fix the ozone layer so that Major League Baseball can play more day games. I'm talking about life goals. Do you?

If so, what are you doing to achieve them. Are you renting a home, or do you own your own home? If you are renting, are you planning and saving to soon own a home? Take a minute or two to close your eyes and picture your life with your dreams achieved. Maybe you are on a boat in the islands somewhere, or maybe you are in a hammock at a cabin in the mountains, maybe you are backpacking through Europe, or maybe you are teaching. Whatever it is, let it really sink in.

Now, what are you doing to get there?

Do you know what your landlord's dreams are?

As a renter, you have to ask yourself a question. And be honest. Who's dreams are you contributing to; yours or your landlords?
