why should a house be hard to obtain? Can we not provide decent living space for people in the 21st century? Or are reverting to poor class and rich class or medieval times?

Your logic is a lil flawed.

It's not hard to obtain, millions of people have obtained a house in the past and will continue to do so in the future. I obtained my house last year and it wasn't too difficult. However it should not be made any simpler just because a bunch of people can't be bothered to save or make sacrifices to actuall obtain one.

Housing is not hard to obtain, all you need to earn some money to cover the rent.

Good on you for buying, however i feel slightly sorry for you buying close to the top.

Unless of course you were 'spoon fed' the house? Just a thought. :rolleyes:;)

That's the point. Instead of complaining that things are too expensive therefore the country needs to be brought to its knees so that people (ie you) can afford what most people have been able to afford for years, you should get out there a bit! Get an education, get some skills and then get a better job so you can afford a house. Either do that or don't and rent a room off of someone who already has done all of that.

That's the problem with this country, if something is hard to get, don't work for it, simply throw your toys out of the pram and if enough of you do the same then you'll get what you want.

I have two degrees and a range of skills, thanks, I choose to work in Education because it's important to me that I do a job that I respect and that is beneficial to society (my researchers keep planes in the sky and trains on the track and nuclear waste where it should be). About 18 months ago I seriously considered doing a similar job in the City, where I could increase my salary by approx 30-45%. I decided against it in the end- probably for the best given it was Citigroup I was going for, and they've laid off loads of staff during the crunch.

I am not yet at the point where I am convinced that owning a property is worth either losing current self respect and job security, or getting chokingly in debt in order to be the proud owner of a miserable shoe-box in Chav Avenue, Borough of Knifecrime.

And I really resent the implication that if you're not in the higher tax bracket it's because you're thick, lazy or lack ambition.

Sorry, that is the most ridiculous post I have ever seen.

For someone to be earning £35,000, which is way above average earnings, they must already have a pretty decent education, range of skills and good job!!!!

Actually I'm not sorry, you're a fool.

It's not above average earnings for London.

Close to the top? Isn't that all relative? I'll have to review it in a few years to see if it was close to the top or whether it was where house prices took a deep breath before continuing on up the mountain.

Regardless, I own my own home and am not blowing money on rent.
