Some people get into debt by buying things they don't need and can't afford.

 

Nowadays, we are living in a society based on consumption. Such as some people have problems dealing with their budget and get into debt by buying things they don't need and can't afford.  Maybe the latest research published in The Journal of Social Psychological and Personality Science can provide an answer for this behavior. Buying things that they don't need or branded items at high prices can help boost self-confidence even though it will leave an immense debt, and the main problem is the lack of awareness of the severe effects that the advertisement can have on people. To prevent people from dangerous behavior, it should be overcome to raise awareness on how to manage their budget to balance necessity and pleasure.  As summarized, people nowadays have to be careful especially to control their finances to buy things that are not important, especially by taking debt so that no more victims are trapped in huge debts to meet their very consumptive needs because it includes bad behavior.

IELTS WRITING TASK 2 : In some countries, owning a home rather than renting one is very important for people.

 In some countries, owning a home rather than renting one is very important for people.

Why might this be case ? 

Do you think this is a positive or negative situation? 

____________________________________________________________________________

In some countries, owning a home is very important for people. Moreover, it is very important to own your own home rather than renting it. for some, it might be different, but for these people, it matters.

I think owning a home is important because it would be more comfortable to live in your own home. You can do whatever you want and you also stay for a long time because the ownership is private. Although buying a home is more expensive at first, but it could be cheaper in the long run than renting if your strategy correctly. Based on the research, national homeownership is on average 38% cheaper than renting, the calculation is based on a fixed interest rate over 10 years. 

If you as a person are renting a home or an apartment there might be a lot of problems in your life. all the goods at that home are not yours. Homeowners can increase the rent price or sell that home or apartment and you have to move several times if your lease expires then, you must maintain the attitude of a tenant.

In other words, not owning your home could be a relief when it comes to your finance. as a renter you will not think about maintenance and repair costs and worry about falling home prices, then there is no property tax.

In conclusion, owning a home is special. I would rather own my house because whatever happens, it's on me and no one else.
