English term or phrase: anything to show for our money.
we have to pay a price for that flexibility, because the biggest negative to renting is not having anything to show for our money.

Alguma ideia aqui? Obrigada!

(não ter) nada para mostrar em troca do nosso dinheiro


Explanation:
Sugestão... Ou seja, o aluguel não permite mostrar algo tangível como algum objeto que você comprou. Dinheiro jogado fora, acho que essa é a ideia.

é não ser dono daquilo pelo que se paga


Explanation:
Entendo assim. No aluguel a pessoa paga, paga, paga, mas no fim não é a dona daquilo pelo que pagou.
