Owning Your Home
Now, you experienced householders, don’t you think that whenever possible a young married couple should try to own their home? The advantage is all the greater when you set about it early in married life. At any trate I think it is a pity to pay rent for all the money paid away. Just think-when you pay out £2 a week rent, which is fairly average, you pay out in thirty years £3,120. Many people who marry in their early ’twenties have an even longer period of married life, and to think of paying out perhaps as much as £5,000 for rent, and not to own anything as a resultwell, it sounds rather silly. — (From "Mary Makes a Career (3): Planning a Home").
