The flat in Munich is rented, because when I retire I want to go back to my home town where my parent's house is. I went to Munich for a job and if worse comes to worst I can leave without loosing lots of money - besides, I was newer able to gather enough money to buy some place for living.

I'm surprised how close the spread is, really. I would've thought for sure more renters than anything on a much larger scale.

Anyways, I've been renting for 2 years now and will be moving to Vancouver the end of next month where I'll continue to rent for, likely, another 4-6 years, I wager, before buying a house. I know full well the acting industry won't be kind enough to me prior to that.

I have my own house but I have only 16 years!

I rent. I'm simply not sure where I want to live for the rest of my life. After all, I can hardly say that I've been EVERYWHERE.

I rent a room in a house. It's pretty good, no complaints. Though building equity sure would be nice. But, hey, I've still got a few years before I need to worry about such.

Rent, you have to be able to move to where ever the best offer is available. Owning ties you to a set place.

Neither, I'm still living with my parents.

I own my own apartment and pay the mortgage weekly. My boyfriend and his brother board with me.

I bought the place just over a year ago and absolutely LOVE it.

Me and my other half own our house and have to pay the mortgage every month!
