Are You A Angry Saver?

Were savers angry back in the 80's when interest rates were 17%?

Saver-Rob

I'm going to be jumping ship from a saver to a borrower soon enough with a mortgage. It is a real shame that I am no longer making much from my savings because it really was helping on a monthly basis to up my deposit.

They were probably rubbing their hands together with glee I should think.

Savers have had it good for ages, now its time for Borrowers to benifit for a while.

Use some common sense..... the problems we are facing now are not create by savers, they were created by !!!!less chavs who wanted it all now.over borrowed and have f*cked the country up for everyone.

It seems common practice on here now to slate savers, normally carried out my near bankrupt idiots who have over extended themselves.....

I can sleep well at night knowing ive done nothing wrong.........

I really don't need to say any more.... :rolleyes:

I don't know you,ll have to ask people who had savings then.Did home owners whinge when making £50k profit on the sale of a house after just giving it a lick of paint????? works both ways.....

I haven,t got a problem with borrowers getting some benefit, its the fact that !!!!less borrowers have got us all the mire.....You can't accuse savers of EVER getting borrowers in trouble..

I haven't done anything wrong either, just worked hard all my life. The thing is if you are a saver, I don't know this, but you might well be one of the many people on this board saving for a house. If you are then you are hoping that house prices go down and you're hoping to grab one just as it reaches the very bottom of the slump. Once you have your house you will be hoping that the house prices increase, which makes you (not necessarily you personally) a bit of a hypocrite because you would be doing just what all those people have done who you say have ruined the country. You are hoping that your house price goes up.

TBH I don't think its the chavs or the house buyers who have ruined this country, I think its the greedy city people who have made milllions and the government have helped them along.

Your 1st post on this thread and most since are all based on assumptions, no fact at all, just road roughshot over everyone, according to you " all savers are nothing more than glorified moneylenders"....It sums you up to a tee.........the buying of houses wasn,t the issue on this thread, it was the impact on savers of the current situation.The problem is "f e c k less borrowing /lending full stop(whether it was for a house or boat or luxury goods)....its swings and roundabout far too many homeowners brought a house NOT for a home, its an investment and thats wrong, people WILL have to get back to buying a HOME . We can argue all day long about low returns on investments and the reasons why...
