Thanks for the reply. In the future I’d basically like to be in a position where I and my family are living comfortably in retirement, maintaining at least the kind of lifestyle and income I have now (ie 80,000pa+). To own our own home would be ideal although at the same time I wonder if (especially at our age – early/mid thirties) it would hinder our progress toward financial independence.

Hello David,

It all depends on where you see yourself in the future.

However, its best to have a solid foundation to build your investments upon. This is why I would suggest owning your own home is paramount.
