I'd be happy to rent if the value of houses didn't double every decade.

Here in Australia you really just work so you can pay your mortgage. The wealth you accrue through your life is mostly the value of your house rather than the money you save.

    Of course. Why would we work so hard to keep jobs that most of us hate if we didn't have mortgages and rent to pay? This is how the machine keeps itself turning. If only there was a motor that wasn't so exploitative in nature...
