    but you can't blame cars for car crashes, its the drivers, but it's still safer to fly than driver (statistically).

    Not that I like statistics, but, they're used so much!

    Again - depends - therefore I voted Gypsy.

    course you could, if interest rates push people over the edge
    Well, there is that, yes... then I'd wonder what was upsetting all the tenants? Perhaps we're the ones with all the real problems and it's better to be suicidal over interest rates than other things? ;)

    In any case OP are you talking about owning a house outright or with a mortgage?
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.

    ...Not forgetting "Which came first the chicken or the egg?"

    :rolleyes:

    As an interesting aside, the answer to this question is the egg, as the description "chicken's egg" informs you of what is inside the egg not what laid it.

    There is no clear answer it depends on individual circumstances. Te best moneysaving is probably gypsy style, no house to sell of if your other half goes into a nursing home but has other problems very unsettling for a family and not enough space to swing a cat

    Buying.
    If owning isn't going to be any better than dealing with the Shylock LA, I might as well slit my wrists now.
    I do hope you're telling the truth?
