Renting is fine for now. Just make sure somewhere in your life you’re building something you own.

Paying for the use of something is not a failure, and it is also not accumulation. The question is whether anything in your life is getting larger while you pay for the rest: savings, a skill, a body of work, a reputation. Without that, years pass and the position stays identical.

Name the thing you own that is growing, and be honest if the answer is nothing yet. Pick one and put a small regular amount of money or time into it starting this month. It does not have to be property, and it does have to be yours.
