Home ownership can be a deceptive stat in Eastern Europe - many people don't register their address at the place they rent - in part because they're renting it under the table.

Tons of folks also live with their parents into their 30s.

The Spanish taxman announced this week they will consider a taxable gift when adults live at their parents home. Anything to keep the juicy inflation-adjusted pensions and their votes.

When people talk about EU home ownership, savings, etc. they often neglect to mention the skew of the Boomer class. It really sucks for young people.
