Own, with mortgage, but Christ Almighty do I wish I'd stuck with renting.

I rent.  Could've bought a house, probably, but given that I was unemployed for like seven months and the Korea Factor, I think it turned out the decision to rent was pretty wise. :)

A rate which is irrelevant to me wishing I'd stuck with renting.

The flat I still live in is paid off but the new one is with mortgage. Voted with mortgage.

Guess it's like Poland - most people aim at owning.

Rent. Can't afford to buy just yet. Maybe soon.

Own, with mortgage.  With all we've had to repair/replace in the house, sometimes I feel like I got PWNED myself :mellow:

I guess the silver lining is that property value has been pretty stable in our part of town, so I still haz equity.

Definitely. As you can imagine, it was one of the main reasons behind the bubble.

Own, with morgage.

Buying my first house was one of the smartest things I've ever done.
