Obviously, everyone just prefers to give their landlord 2/3 of their after tax salary. /s
Ooh, I feel like rent payments should be pretax or tax deductible and it would help a ton of people out.
Someone tell me why that would be a bad idea, I'm genuinely curious.
Home owners get to write off interest, so us renters should get something.
The real bitch is that I could totally afford a mortgage. I've lived in the same place for 11 years without missing a payment on my rent, but because it's rent it doesn't count towards my credit score, so fuck me right?
I mean, they can't have those dirty renters improving their credit scores and moving into their neighborhoods.
