I own my place in the city but the carrying (tax, insurance, mortgage) and opportunity costs are not insignificant. I actually have enough saved that I can manage the payments and other living expenses based on my investments, but it's closer to the edge than I'd like to be. Then again I am a person who desires certainty in all things so it might not be the same for most people in my position.
