I tell you, once you just accept the fact you're going to be in a "rental rut" forever, life actually gets a little more enjoyable. Rather than bother to save for a house we'll never be able to afford, my wife & I are saving for a 911
She just doesn't know it yet.
Interesting how things come full circle though - during the dark ages it was always the property owners that had any rights, the rest of the serfs lived on the land of the local lord and were peasants. Seems like our "enlightened" modern society is heading the exact same direction.
