Broders, what is up with you now?0 -
I bought at the peak and yes I've lost a good chunk of my deposit.
I'm consoled by the fact that in order to fund my purchase I sold RBS shares and a Porsche, so I went from one crap investment to another!
I would never have just tucked the money away in the bank account like some on here - life is for enjoying, not saving for a day that will never come.
And actually despite the loss in 'net worth', my monthly disposable income has gone up by over £1K a month with a tracker rate, so not all bad.0 -
Rochdale,
It is probably easiest to explain in terms of gold
If you bought gold when it didnt cost much i.e. when GBrown sold it.
If you still own it i.e. unlike GBrown, your wealth has increased.

Did you go out and buy a lot of gold from G Brown? No? Well shut up then.Freedom is the freedom to say that 2+2 = 4 (George Orwell, 1984).

What's the difference whether investing in bank accounts or bank shares or indeed property - whichever way, your money is tied up and not therefore "enjoyed" (your definition)0 -

Keep dreaming the dream fruitcake.
