Depends on where you're at in life I guess. I was able to retire early in May of 2000 at the age of 49, and since late 2000 early 2001 every tangible of value I own has wheels,

I winter in Arizona, summer in Indiana, lease on both ends. My landlord(s) now take the place of my plumber, my electrician, my painter, my carpet cleaner, my roofer, my HVAC guy, ad infinitum ...

I decided then I never wanted to repair another dripping faucet, worry about a roof that needed replaced, cut another blade of grass, haggle over insurance premiums, and on and on and on.

Ownership is great and makes perfect sense for many reasons for 2/3rds of your life. You know, while raising a family and building future financial stability. There comes a time though when ownership isn't any fun anymore. The 'prestige' of ownership devalues immensely. And yes, being a 'freeagent' is financially costly in many ways. So be it.

@Quence - Seeing "viewed as low lifes" makes me think you haven't been on planet Earth long enough to have a realistically formed opinion.
