Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.
The MSE Forum Team would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. However, we know this time of year can be difficult for some. If you're struggling during the festive period, here's a list of organisations that might be able to help

    They have created this false feeling of wealth and comfort we ALL enjoy.
    They have used the system to rape 85% of the world population, and they have enslaved us all within debt.
    They have been found out, there is now nowhere to hide.

    I don't think they know what caused this crisis, that's why they can't solve it & it will take YEARS to sort out.

    Recession will be longer & deeper than people thought.

    Countries are pulling in different directions & will pull things apart.

    A bogus economic model has been used over the past decade.

    It wasn't, it was the cheap credit people got. The whole past 10 years have been based on credit, it's simply time to pay it back.

    Surely, with so many people now having no chance/intention of repaying, the rest of us will have to take the hit?
