Buy original art when you can - it's so much more exciting having the real thing. You can often find very affordable art at art fairs, art exhibitions, community galleries, student art shows. So to answer your question - no, I won't live with posters, wouldn't think of it anymore.

I have and buy a lot of posters, put them on my wall for some time, then I put some other posters up. Posters are fun, if you i.e. go to some kind of exibition you can prolong the memory of what you saw there by looking at a good poster.
I also buy original art, never as an investment but simply to have the sheer joy of looking at it Perhaps some of the joy stems from the gact that you won't see it on everyone else's walls.(?)
But I never let my original art stay too long on the walls. As with posters.
Because things you see every day looses it's impact on my mind.

I buy only original art even though I have limited income because it is something that enhances my life I also make original art and I know what a boost it is to sell a piece and so my buying one is giving that boost to a fellow artist who may need that money even more than I do
support original art not the reproductions that are flooding the market with hype and mechanical printing methods.

I buy both. Original art seems a lot nicer.
