Ownership beats renting

I've decided that I would rather buy than rent. It seems this is usually the better course of action in all arenas of life (e.g. car, house).

I think the primary reason why I think buying is better is that the challenge of buying makes it much more fun, and in the end, rewarding. Even though the process is much more drawn out (you have to do research, a lot of planning, there's a lot of uncertainty, things could fall through, it could take months), ultimately, it's much more satisfying than plopping down some exorbitant amount of money for fleeting pleasure.

There is the one downside - it might not work out. You might not be able to get that dream car you always wanted. I guess it's in that situation that you wonder about renting.

On another note, I wish that if you overate one day, that it would truly carryover to the next day. Like a car, if I fill up too much, it will take longer before my car is thirsty again. With me, if I fill up too much (for example, with sweet, sweet, barbecue ribs), I'm hungry again the next day, even though I clearly ate too much the previous day.

My theory is that whatever is mentioned last in a post is generally what gets commented on.
