Buy an apartment or invest long term for retirement?
Hi, I’m 29 and currently have 90k usd invested in Ireland-domiciled ETFs following S&P500 and international markets. I think I’m on a solid path to achieve a decent retirement in 30 years if I keep investing every year.
But recently several friends have started buying their first apartment. I’m currently renting, and rent is covered by my employer so I don’t stress about it, but every once in a while I get anxious about not having my own place at my age. I’m decades away (hopefully) from inheriting property.
Should I use all of my savings to buy an apartment just like my friends are doing? Should I stick to my investment plan and keep renting for many more years?
Thanks
