Nearly 36% of U.S. households rent — and with home prices and interest rates both climbing, more people are wondering if that's actually the smarter move. Robert Kiyosaki, Suze Orman, and Dave Ramsey debate whether renting forever is a legitimate financial strategy or just a decision nobody's run the real numbers on.
