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.

    True although I went back and removed what I could find after an off board chat with !!!!!!.

    I'll get something in the end over here. All I need is a start in something so I can get some capital together to start a business and I'm away. If it comes to it, I'll drive a cab although I can't do that until I've been here a year.

    There's no doubt you'll succeed to the extent that you need to.

    Flexibility is key. We (as a family) have always responded to 'market forces.' It's the only way to survive, let alone thrive.

    I confess that, although I'm angry at the inept government we have had for the past so many years, I'm also fascinated at the changes we are now facing. Some of them are long overdue, as house prices became impossibly high (we know why now).

    At the risk of sounding trite - life's a constant challenge. Mmm, that does sound trite. :D

    Yeah, I'll do most jobs that are moral and legal. Of course many people now feel that investment banking is neither moral or legal and frankly they have a point.

    Unfortunately the costs to righting all of this are likely to be extremely high. Anyone relying on a Government or defined benefit pension can kiss it goodbye.

    Bookmarked. It means I'll have to get a stupid google acount to ask questions though:p For some reason google accounts and I don't get on.

    If you sign in you can become a 'follower' of the blog. Goodness only knows what that means but it's probably a good thing. Or not of course.
