Owning your own home

Disagree. I'd be pissed off if I bought a two bedroom house in an area I did not like, then realised that I could have bought a 3 bed in a better area if only I'd waited 18 months.

Sure, I was working on the assumption he'd only buy a place he liked (there is always something better out there if you look hard enough, but what's the point if you like where you are).
