It is choice to purchase a house;
-I however would not purchase a house in the suburbs.
-I would not obtain a mortgage; I don’t want to work the rest of my life with a burden, forcing me to work.
-I prefer to rent, I can pack up and move on whenever I choose.
-If I were to buy property, it would be in the country and owned 'outright'.
Early last year, my partner and I decided we wanted to travel Australia for several months. So we sold all of our household furniture (very nice furniture) to gather extra funds. We traveled for 3months until funds dried up, we did plan to pick fruit, but, it was way too hot.
Now, after roughing it for 3months (we slept in a tent) we are back in Melbourne, sharing a house with a friend, we have virtually NO assets (excluding our air polluting vehicle) and we are happy, although, at-times, anxious to travel again.
We are both unemployed by choice, however, both creative in the mind, that's our source of income.
Mortgages Anyone?

cool, i did the same thing, back in 2001, except i went with my partner and fastered in the desert, I have felt like doing it again lately.
My mum bought her house out in the country, for $12 000, she had to fix it up, but she own`s it, i might to the same thing next year.
I agree this world of debt makes me sick, I rent also out of choice, and if i buy it will be because the money has come easy to me, as apose to slaveing my life away, been there done that.
When you really understand TP, and universal law, you discover that happyness and freedom are our birth right, everything in the universe is free, we don`t need to be in debt.
When ever i get into the whole money thing, it always comes back to bit me spiritually and lately i have realised that i can die anyday, anytime, and when that time comes, what will take with me? sertonly none of this.
