Well there are others, as Barry Switzer might say, who were "born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple"
As for me, I'm fine being a renter for the moment. I don't have a burning desire to own until I decide to really settle down in a specific neighbourhood long-term. Even then, I'm not crazy about the idea of having an entire house. Unless I have kids, something smaller like laneway housing would be attractive for me as a more affordable, more manageable option, granted it's in a neighbourhood where I can access public amenities (good neighbourhood park, entertainment, groceries nearby, public sport installations like pools or gyms, etc) so that I don't feel like I need them at my own house.
Ultimately, I'm of the "why own when you can rent?" school of thought where I feel like I need a compelling reason to go out and own/maintain/dispose of something instead of just being able to access if when I need it for a fee. If it does becomes financially/personally advantageous to own, I'll do that, but home ownership isn't a "dream" or a life goal for me. If long-term renting is more financially advantageous, I see that as just as valid an option.
