    Worth planning for when entering a recession.

    As payday said, best of all to be mortgage free.

    Getting the most out of welfare is a situation I would prefer not to be in so it's not something I'm going to plan towards now. I prefer to have savings and have the option of what I do should I join the dole queue.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    hahaha - do you mean that they went out of their way to moan about me on another board??

    surely not - they must have lots and lots of better things to do with their eventful lives

    Pay Day you really must provide me with a link - neverdespairgirl and CarolT seem to have so much integrity on here

    I guess so. Better still to have paid your mortgage off.

    April 2009
    Help with mortgage costs – due to housing market problems

    There will be a temporary:
    • Cut in waiting time from 39 to 13 weeks, and
    • Increased in the loan limit from £100,000 to £175,000
    But for new JSA claimants, support for mortgage interest will stop after 2 years! Existing recipients will be okay.

    So if you've got through the 39week barrier and you're sitting on the dole with an IO mortgage you are set.

    A bit of a pain when the time comes to pay off the capital debt though.

    Your past posts have a strange habit of disappearing.

    That is pretty sad, alright. Obviously we have made a big mpact on his life. I hope he doesn't neglect his extensive property portfolio in favour of talking about us all over MSE though, you need to keep a careful eye on things like that in the current market or they can run away from you.
