JohnJBurnsIII, 24 days ago @douglasvb @ai6yr I get the idea of independence and not wanting to support a company. To do that you have to be financially capable or in it for long term. For most of us: payoff over 10 or 15 years is an issue as that requires "another longterm loan". For many that likely won't live in a place more than a couple of years - it's not an option (e.g. employment reasons usually).
