Not Advisable to Be a Mortgage Slave

The debate about whether to be a mortgage slave has been heated with the rising of housing prices in most cities. Those who support the idea of being a mortgage slave believe it"s high time to buy a house on mortgage, considering the rising housing prices and the favorable low-interest-rate policy. However, those opposing the idea of being a mortgage slave hold that it will be a heavy financial burden to live with a mortgage, and renting a house is a better choice. Personally, I believe that most young men should not buy a house on mortgage.
First. it"s unnecessary to buy a house especially when the mortgage you pay every year is two or three years" worth of rent. Besides, renting a house is more flexible, without worrying about the change of your workplace. What"s more, when most of your income is spent on the mortgage, your budget on consumption and investment will be extremely tight. This leads to the impoverishment of your social life, which will decrease your living standard and fetter your comprehensive personal development.
In conclusion, it"s unwise to be a mortgage salve. As a viral saying in the online social networks goes, "the world is so big; I want to check it out!" Breaking away the shackles of mortgage debt, you will find a larger world and live a better life.
