my boomer father in law tries to convince me to buy a house because it was a good financial decision for him. He asked me why I would pay rent to someone else my "whole life" and that everyone says its the most prudent way to build wealth.

He made, and lost a lot of money in real estate. When I buy a house, it won't be as an investment.

I would rather live in some else's house for the next few years than use someone else's money
