Mortgages

Thanks for the wise words Hippy, it was really good to read that.

I will happily rent for a few years, and then if I can will buy a property. At the moment though I couldn't deal with that amount of money around my neck and wondering about what might be happening in 5-10 years time.

When I was in Oz, I was in the same position. I decided I didn't like my job enough to be locked into it to pay a 25 year mortgage. I moved here and spent my deposit on booze. FTW :)
