There seems to be a lot of people without homes of their own on this forum, and I'm just wondering where you all live?

    Not having a home of your own doesn't make you homeless.

    Ask my children.

    can mine come and live with you?????????????? I think it makes far more sense for just one person to have all the grown up kids that can't afford to move out yet. That way, only one of us will be overcrowded--and I'd rather it wasn't me!!!!!!!
    thanks--I'll send them round:j

    I have a nice spot under a large oak tree. Bit damp today but at least there's plenty of fresh air.

    A big cheap (council tax free) camper van that followed the sun every winter..............until it turned into a one way trip.

    Amazingly enough they have these places called council estates where all us 'homeless' people congregate!!!!!

    Well it's a bit of a new concept, a little bit 'out there', but the alternative to buying is – wait for it – renting! :p

    Now I know homeowners see 'renting' as a bit of a dirty word (with many preferring to call it 'dead money'), but personally I am very happy with my lot! I live with my best friend, I pay a set amount each month, there are no nasty unforseen bills for me to deal with (e.g., boiler breakdown) and there is no axe of negative equity hanging over my head.

    To those who STILL insist it's dead money, I have an address and a home for as long as I want it. And it will never cost me more than the rent I pay, unlike with a mortgage where people frequently end up paying double the value of the house. Also, whatever happens with the housing market does not affect me... It's all good! :D

    If I don't respond to your posts, it's probably because you're on my 'Ignore' list.

    I thought all homeless people had Asus Eee micro-laptops with 3G cards for posting on the net?
