There is zero shame in renting and if she decides to do that forever then good for her - it gives her the kind of freedom that a homeowner wouldn’t have. She could move wherever and whenever she wants.I can’t imagine her buying a house as she moves too often. Unless she is waiting to buy a house out right she is going to have some sort of huge mortgage even with a big deposit. Doesn’t make sense to rent forever though, just paying someone else’s mortgage!!
This idea of having a mortgage ‘on her own terms’ is ridiculous, though. Unless she can save up hundreds of thousands of pounds, any house purchase is going to come with a hefty & lengthy mortgage.
And this insistence on never buying with a bloke - get over yrself hun. Stubbornness will only get you so far. Buying with a bloke is great, bigger mortgage & half the bills!
