in Debate House Prices & the Economy
I only come on MSE when a story breaks about house prices like todays nationwide figures. I cannot believe the same old people are still going on about the same old things. Still waiting for the massive crash, telling everybody about the size of their deposits, saving thousands each month as house prices lose thousands each month. Come on people, I know it must be murder renting, but live a little.

    When I find myself starting a thread on a forum criticising its contributors, then I'll know that I'm taking life far too seriously.

    "they" are not in a good mood today, having hoped for more fuel to the 50% falls forecasts.

    Ermmmm.....Nationwide today reported their 12th month of successive falls with the recession in progress/possible depression, mortgage lending tightening with every day that passes, the state of unemployment becoming a huge factor etc. Forgive me if i am wrong but it is here, is it not? :confused:

    Also, this is a HOUSE PRICE discussion forum. Sorry for keeping it on topic. :rolleyes:
