[QUOTE="D'oriel, post: 2082934, member: 1072"] What is it with our compulsion to own property? People bend over backwards to scrap together all the cash they can possibly get hold of, to put a deposit down. You have men and women in their twenties, and even thirties, moving back home with their parents, just so they can purchase in a year or so. Why? If buying a property meant that I would have to forfeit independence, then I don't think I'd want it. And I'm genuinely surprised at the amount of people who do. What do the majority of Irish and British people have against renting for decades? I come under this as well, as I've been looking into ways in which I can buy a place, and I wonder why I bother thinking about it. If you find a place you love, and you live there, why not just stay their? Why bother with the hassle? If you have the cash fine, it's a longterm investment and security, but if you don't, why break your skull to try and make it happen? I find our whole outlook on this bizarre. [/QUOTE]
