    When is this "boom" so? Or are you talking well into the future when there may be one, or years ago when there was one? :)

    In my wife's house. She bought it at the height of the boom, negative equity, but low, low tracker...
    So better off than most.

    Same as always. Worked my butt off before, during and after the boom, never screwed any of my customers when everyone else was doing just that, they stayed loyal and I'm busier than ever. Own the house, going nowhere, unless big Phil decides to sieze it or nationalise it. With this lot, you never do know.

    Shared house and intend to stay that way. Even if I had a wad of money I couldn't ever justify buying a house in today's property tax ridden days with feck all job security.

    Might consider joining the traveling community. Go to which ever halting site has the jobs nearby, free amenities thrown at me by the council. Get to accuse people who won't give me a job of racism

    Renting and saving. I was very lucky to get into a good career out of college 4 years ago just before everything really went to ****e.

    Waiting for the house market to really bottom out and then BOOM! 4 bedroom, two sitting room, too many bathrooms to count house for peanuts.

    Peanuts!

    That's the dream anyway...!

    In England. The plan was to move back, but that's increasingly unlikely this side of retirement.

    Don't worry, I don't think many really ever did benefit from the boom.

    Renting a relatively small 1 bedroom apartment in Dublin 8. Was finishing college (and still living with my parents) when the recession started, so had absolutely nothing to lose. Can't see myself buying any time soon, though there is a possibility of moving out of Ireland in the next year or two.
