Consumerism Commentary: Buy a Condo or Rent an Apartment: My Decision

    That sounds like a good move, Flexo. When you posted you weren't sure how much time you had and rushing into a home purchase is not a good idea. You need to determine what your needs are and be familiar with the area, values etc. It also didn't seem like you were 100% sold on the idea of owning. This should give you a lot more flxibility and time to decide your next living arrangement. Good luck!

    Buying a home is definitely something that should not be rushed into. If you feel that waiting another year will give you some leverage in your decision, then that was a good move. Patience is always a good thing :)

    Good for you Flexo; you made the right decision. You are definitely saving a ton of money by renting for probably 1/2 the cost of borrowing, and real estate prices are dropping every month now. It's good to know that there are intelligent people out there who know how to at least use a calculator before jumping into the most important purchase of their lives!
