<prompt> Human: I am 25 years old and still living at home. I have been working for about 4 years now, doing IT in a town 30km away. I would to get a place of my own, but in doing so I would not be able to save any money. I cannot seem to ignore the fact that rent would A. remove my ability to save money and B. I get nothing out of it, I do not keep a place after renting it. I am also not really in the position to buy a house. How would you suggest I think about this differently?EDIT: Thanks for the responses. Much appreciated. The rental prices are a bit high in my area, and I do not currently make enough to consider moving out comfortably. I will be patient. Apologies if I offended anyone, I did not consider all the benefits of renting.  <response>: rent means you have a place to live. you are paying money to live somewhere.I get nothing out of ityou get a place to live. thats the entire point of renting. you get a very few strings attached place to live.if you rent closer to work, you might not need a car, and you wont spend as much time travelling and spending money to travel.
