LendingTree's Senior Economist and report author, Jacob Channel, had this to say:

"Even if they'd rather buy, people should keep in mind that there's nothing wrong with being a renter. Remember that it's better to be a renter who can keep their head above water financially, than it is to be a homeowner who is drowning in debt. Similarly, being a renter is likely going to be better than being a homeowner with a co-buyer who is less than dependable and who might force you to pay their share of the bills."
