If you were given enough money to purchase either a house or a business with the stipulation that you must do one or the other, Which would you choose to buy? why?

I will buy a house ,it is also a business. The price of the house are gettng up and up in our country, so I think you can't lose your capital to buy a house. I don't think I have the ability to run a business. I am a lazy girl. I like simple life. I am not unhappy if I have no lots of money. My brother and I are going to be married this year, so a house is more important than a business now. There are many mistakes in the last paragraphs, please corret them , thank you. English is not my native language.

I think you did very well! the only thing would be the way it is worded it sounds like you will be marrying your brother. I am not sure if that is a custom in your country or if you simply meant that both of you will be wed (although not to each other) thank you for taking the time to reply to this discussion.

I'd buy the house. Why? I'm a home body. I'd rather be at home than at work! LOL who wouldnt? When you own a business you are there all the time and you have no life. Not for me!

I think I would purchase a house as I believe times are getting bad and only going to get worse. A business could go bankrupt qickly but if you have a roof over your head, you will be able to survive. Also, you could rent the house out and have a guaranteed monthly income.

I would love to purchase another home. Don't get me wrong,t here are things I love about this place, but it is the ancetral home, it is old, and it is always needing major renovation that is so slow in happening. Sometimes I would like to throw in the towel and start off with a nice, fresh, efficiently built new house. A girl can dream!

I would choose a business because that's an opportunity to make money, and have a steady income.

I would buy a house. With the current situation of having two kids and a husband, I know that it would be even better for us to have a house vs. staying in the aprtment that we stay in.

I run a business now, so would choose a house. The house would have more shelves in the kitchen and no electrical plugs next to the floor. It would have a large walk in closet to store all of my shoes.

I would definitely purchase a house. I think running a business is a risky venture, and in the long run if your business isn't successful you could end up with nothing. A home is a long term investment that you'll always have, and that will probably appreciate in value over the years.

I would buy a house. i am very tired of living in apartments, and I want a yard for my kids & dog to play in. I want to be able to paint the walls something other than white. I want privacy. I want to have a barbeque in my backyard. I am happy at my job and although a business would be nice, a home is always where the heart is. I want someplace to hang my heart !!!

Since I already own my home, and I have always wanted my own flower shop...I would jump on the chance to open a floral business!

I would rather choose to buy a house than starting business which involve risks especially if you dont have much experience in running one.
