The Top Things We'd Rather Rent Than Own

What's something you'd rather rent than own? A poll asked 2,000 people, and a house or apartment only ranked 12th. So most of us would still rather own our home. Here are the top ten things we DON'T want to own . . .

 

1. Movies. We used to buy DVDs, but now we just stream.

 

2. Music. No one wants CDs now that we have Spotify.

 

3. Gym equipment. Like renting a Peloton bike instead of buying one.

 

4. Cars. A lot of people prefer leasing instead of buying, or just using Uber.

 

5. Storage spaces. Renting is cheaper upfront than putting a shed in your yard.

 

6. Phones. Like paying a monthly fee for the newest phone instead of buying it. And then you upgrade whenever you want.

 

7. Tools. If you rent at a place like Home Depot, you don't have to store them.

 

8. Wedding dresses. You can rent designer gowns now for a few hundred bucks.

 

9. Sports equipment. Like renting skis if you only go skiing once or twice a year.

 

10. Cleaning equipment. Like renting a rug cleaner at the grocery store.
