Half of what gets called "doing your own research" is reading until you find somebody who already agrees with you and th…

The phrase got poisoned by one use of it. Checking a primary source against a headline is the same activity and is the whole point.

Renting is not throwing money away, and I say that as somebody who spent eight years feeling ashamed about it. You are b…

Nobody says a hotel is throwing money away. A home you do not own is a service you are buying, and the shame attached to that is cultural rather than financial.
