Is owning a house now a liability? If so, how do you shift your mentality of dreaming of owning a house to just renting? There’s pros and cons each to renting and owning a house. But I have heard that younger people nowadays prefer renting over actually buying a house. Because of mobility being the priority. Plus, a house is only profitable once you sell it. But otherwise it’s stagnant.

This is only a perspective from my country. Is it the same for others? Is permanence now a bad thing?

It’s not just the optimism but the desperation as well. Gamblers who may have lost already too much will not know anymore how to gain back that money hence they just continue on hoping to win back the money they lost because they don’t have any more choice.
