House - Do you stay in a rented house or in own house?

I rent a house and have been in the same home for almost 12 years now. Even though I don't own it, that is okay as my landlord gives us a great deal as we are almost like family. :)

Well friend,I also stay in rented house and that is for 25 yrs.I stay in the city of joy.Its my in laws house they were here for 50 yrs.But I want to buy my own house where we all will stay.

I'm living in my own house.

I have not rented for over 15 years, I have only brought my houses.

i live in my parents house and its their own house. though i think it's kind of a rented situation when people have to pay so much every month to pay off the loan!:)

i have been staying in a rentend house for 3 years since i graduated from college,i want to have a own house,but i haven't enough money to buy it,and i haven't a stable job,so it is hard for me to stay in own house by now.how to make more money and to seek a good job is my first thing to do recently.

We own our house - or rather we own it together with the bank until the mortgage is all payed up which won't happen until 2009 LOL Before we bought our house we rented an apartment that I actually miss a lot because it was affordable nice and any problem that happened was taken care by the landlord, they even discounted $100 from my rent once when we were away for the weekend and an electricity problem in the building disconnected my fridge. THey discounted the money for the groceries that I might have lost. Still I enjoy owning the house it's just that I have more responsibilities here

I have been staying in rented house for over three years now. Recently joined a housing society to have a house of my own here. With the upswing and high real estate values in city makes it almost impossible to buy a flat with my single income.

Hello ranjeet! We never own a house ever since I was born. We keep on renting and now we are living here in the rented house for 12 years already. The owner will renovate the house this October that's why we need to move out. Until now we are still looking for a house. I'm kind of happy about this moving out thing because I feel that the family needs a new start and a new environment. Hope we can find a nice house that's not so expensive.(",) Great day and God bless!

I stay with my parents in a house owned by my parents. I stay in this house ever since I was a kid.

Rented one..With my frnds..we are bachelors

i am also from india, but i am from hydeabad city. i live in own house ,

I stay with my cousin sister in Thane from last 2 years. I have dream to have my own house in Mumbai or near by suburbs. But, as I am the only financial support of my family, I think it will take few more years to save enough money. I have a target to achieve this dream. I will my own house when I will reach 25 years of age. Let's see.

I'm renting, would like to buy but can't afford. Can i just say; i cannot believe how many people have responded to this discussion!

well i stay at a govt house as ma father is in govt job :) .. we are planning to buy a house of our own soon :)..

my flat is rented from a housing association. i will plan on buying a house in years to come when i have enough money

Since I am working away from home I am just renting just near the office. I have been renting this apartment for almost 7 years and I like it here so much coz I just walk it to the office and I dont have to worry about anything like fare traffics and a lot of road hassles. I can just go to the office 15 mintues before the time and its stress free.

We are buying ours through a rent to own program. I am not sure that I am settled here as it is smaller than what I really want,but I guess we are here for awhile. I can't imagine living here for 15 years though.

I have been staying in Lahore, Pakistan since 1993 and I have my own home. I have never lived on rent so sorry I don't know the feeling of that.

I own a home too... just like our mylotter said, Nothing like home. I used to rent a home but the rent is freaking stealing .... but now I own a home is also hard too cuz we have to responsible for everything and pay a lot also but it is good in the long run.
