The joys of being a tenant under an iron landlord eh?

It's about taking responsibility for your own life, and minimising other people's arbitrary control over it.

So I didn't buy a house imagining that it would make me rich, I did it knowing that it would cost me, but counting it worth the cost.

Didn't own home. Wanted to have a house of our own to live in. Didn't like renting (rentals are all non-smoking: imagine how it feels at advanced age to still have to hide the ashtrays when the agent comes round on regular inspection. Anyway, just imagine how it feels having a regular inspection to see if you are behaving).

The number of people looking to buy a house for the first time has fallen at its fastest rate in more than three years, a report says.
Inquiries from new buyers plunged in July, while the number of unsold properties rose, The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) said.
