Drawing Conclusions: Is renting really a waste of money?
The Globe and Mail
A short Globe and Mail animated explainer on why renting can leave you as well off as buying a home. It walks through a rent-versus-buy comparison using Toronto numbers and the opportunity cost of a down payment. The video notes it dates from 2015 and the housing market has changed since.
HN commenters cite it as a clear, numbers-based rent-vs-buy comparison when housing-as-investment debates come up.
