I hate renting with a passion and wish I could buy a home of my own, but that is the one silver lining. I’ve gotten home after a 14 hour shift and realized that something was wrong with the hot water heater. Put in a ticket with maintenance, gone to bed, and at 9 am the next morning they’re knocking on my door to fix it. I don’t have to deal with the mental load of even thinking about who to call let alone the financial headache of paying for it. I was also extremely lucky that in that case I lived in a place with amazing maintenance people.
