it depends on where you live. It could be true if you live in the city or with a friend/husband, but even then there are frugal options. As a rule of thumb though, it generally is better to own if it's well within your means. Emphasis on means; you can't expect some burger flipper to save up for 80k down payment without them first giving up weed and simping, let alone secure a loan.
