Do you really not understand what she is saying? You can only pay off your mortgage if you have a job and jobs will be going.
Is there a teacher on the list who can help Realy understand what he or she is reading?
Lower redundancies is not the same as NO redundancies. Do you understand that? If you are one of the unlucky s*ods who lose their jobs, then you won't be able to take advantage of low interest rates to pay off your mortgage. Why are some of you finding that so difficult to understand.
Are some of you so up to your neck in debt that you don't want to think about job loses perhaps and just want to think that you can now pay off your mortgage debts quickly?
The good thing about a recession is that we can get rid of the employees with the immature attitudes.
Looks like you are in for some very harsh lessons in life. I hope they won't be too painful for you, but you may come out the other side as a man.
Sorry boys, got to take the wife out. I'll be back later.
Those posting a lot, are you all out of work? Or doesn't your employer have much work for you now?
Selective reading I think:rolleyes:
Maybee because I am not HPC:rolleyes:
Don't try to demonise me for having a valid opinion on rates.
You can stick up for !!!!!! but if you can't read a page and only see one side of a story:rolleyes:0 -
Actually, I've pointed out that since the interest is paid by welfare it's the huge capital debt that will wipe unemployed and over-mortgageed people out as they can't meet monthly repayments on it. Do try to keep up.
Are you not the people who say that interest only mortgages are for mugs?'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -
firstly - lower rates may help them not losing their jobs in the first place.
secondly - it's so relevant that you have to either find an extra £120 a month or take £120 a month out of savings that you would be using for something else.
not sure of your logic here.
My logic is that if you can't pay it, it doesn't matter what the amount is that you can't pay. So this is for people without savings, who could pay it.
I agree that, in general, if your job goes south it is better to have lower fixed costs to find every month. But for some people, it won't make any difference....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
i hadn't realised that being un-married was an insult, i have some good friends that are single.0

Your mate !!!!!! says that the social pay it for you, please stick to the same hymn sheet.
Why? We are two different people, with two different sets of views. They sometimes co-incide. In this case, they do not. So I'll stick to my Hymns Ancient and Modern, thanks anyway (-:...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

So do I. In fact, so am I, I'm unmarried.
But I have seen !!!!!! being abused for this, in the past....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

we're agreeing then - the discussion is about servicing the debt, lower costs are most important.
if there is no income - mortgage is paid after 3 months i believe.0 -

I'm recalling some of your personal attacks on me in the past, now deleted by you as part of your PR policy of going back and editing/deleting your old posts to make yourself look better.....
Ahhh - here's one which you have since deleted but your original quotes live on in the my reply to your post:

You used to come out with stuff like this, and worse, on a pretty regular basis. I notice you have been relatively contained of late. Still, I imagine bottling up all that suppressed rage takes it's toll, no?this is his window to the world and his only way of making friends.
some people have social lives he has his mouse and keyboard.
shame that he has never found a Mrs !!!!!!. he's very lonely man
and it's probably a good thing for society that he isn't going to have any children.
he thinks his posts on MSE will change the world and will go down in history as part of the Govt archives but unfortunately they won't. this a sub-board that was seperated so nutters like him could be hidden from the rest of the MSE world.--
Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.0
