The New York Times makes extraordinary information graphics and this is one of my favorites. It’s something most New Yorkers have asked at one point or another: is it better to buy or rent? Punch in your specific numbers and see a chart pin-pointing the year that you become a sucker for paying your monthly rent. It also includes a breakdown of costs and adjustable factors. And better yet, if you’ve ever wondered how insanely much your apartment would cost if you could buy it, this interactive graphic does that too!
