I entirely beg to differ. But renting versus buying is entirely personal preference. Of course if you want to stay in the city centre like say Sydney for example, you’ve got to have been one of the very FIRST movers in order to find a unit that is even for sale. Most abodes in the city are for rent, so you don’t have much choice anyway. Personally? I prefer buying my own place a little further out in the suburbs. Then at least I’ve got a place for my head and my storage.
