Home ownership

How many orgers out there own their own homes? (this includes homes that still have a mortgage to pay)

Who rents their homes?

In Australia it is a goal of neraly everyone (known as the great Australian dream) to own their own home. Do people from the US, Canada, UK and other European countries also have this goal?

I certainly get the impression that it is not all that important in the US. Please correct me if I am wrong.

p.s no 2the9s, your van down by the river does not count!

Cool!

What is the general vibe in the US? Is home ownership a goal?

My father rents this house. 3 bedrooms, two bath, kitchen, dining room, living room, etc...for $300 a month.

It's a pretty good deal, sits on an acre of land.

Yeah... I suspect that everyone aspires to own their own house. Owning your own place is a billion times better than living in an apartment... unless your friggin' water main breaks a few times. sad
