Which is why it is only stupid people who rent rather than buy a house.

Probably more to do with a deposit and general set up costs

There are lots of reasons
I want to live in London for a while, but I can't afford to buy there so I'm going to rent with a friend for a bit. Once I've got that out of my system, I'll buy somewhere else.

I couldn't afford a deposit for a house and I don't want to borrow of my family.

You could always pay your family interest, which could be lower than what you would pay the bank

That is true, but as my dad runs his own buisness it's just taking money that he can invest in that.

fair enough, depends on your personal circumstances

Or get a job earning more money and save the difference.

He'd still have to rent in the meantime
That wouldn't make him stupid.

It's all very well renting something cheap in the short term to save a deposit.
Rather different to say 'I'll rent up to the level I can afford for years, because I can't afford to save up a deposit'.

OK, yes, that's stupid.
You didn't actually say that, though.

I thought it was implied, as Chompy has told us that's what he's doing.

Chompy mentioned a chicken.
