    Since I’m just renting, I have more disposable income for luxury shopping.

    I know no one with a lower rent than my mortgage. Literally no one.

      I likely do, nice to meet you.

      I also don’t pay taxes, maintenance, or homeowners insurance. I only have to pay to insure my things.

      You can argue those costs are baked into my $1250 rent, and you’re probably right, but I guarantee it’s less than your mortgage and associated costs would be where I live.
