Where did you pull this conclusions from? I hope the sun shines there

Rise of the Kenyan ‘Generation Rent’ - Business Daily

To rent or not to rent is an argument with no winners. To build a home requires a huge capital expenditure( depending on your budget). You never see that money again. Or you can rent and use the capital on a safe investment eg Treasure bonds. Eg you can use 2.5m to build you a pigsty and live rent free. Or you can choose to rent a similar house for 25Ka month, invest that 2.5m in treasury bonds at 13% earning 27K a month(before tax) for the next 30 years.

I thought it will be something about living with the parents totally and completely for example for everything else anyway. How can you really describe it all there for example. It’s good enough that people do have money for everything like that anyway. Can we do that ?

How much would I get if I invested 1 million?

Depends on the rate. Usually starts at 12%. So your 1m will fetch you 120K after 1 year.

From statistical point of view American citizen changes his place of living three times per life. And that’s a normal phenomenon, lifestyle is pretty dynamic for Americans. Especially this year after world pandemic took place in every city, more over its worldwide. So, price range changed as never before for rent and market prices. Now those who live on rent collide with obstacles. I lived in Estonia for 18 years and came to live in West Points NY (2015) and moved to Manhattan this year. And it was hard to understand for our family at first if the prices were okay and if quality of living were on the same page. Our decision took place after this guide for best rent prices in New York during covid-19 and we were sure are decision was right. They helped not only with this, but with the full move from previous house to new one. Experience 10 out of 10, professionals, carrying, good communicative skills and very careful with all the stuff we had. It was more than enough.

It’s such a strange story as it seems to be the most affordable service on the market
