    Yeah, fair play on that one, but at least I've never lived on a campbed in my mums living room, trying to amend my debt junkie ways.....

    Hows the back by the way?:D

    Nice and healthy, like the savings I've accrued. :beer:

    LOL two responses to that:

    Couldn't handle it, In what way could I 'not handle it'?
    Is calling someone a moron construcive criticism? I think not

    err No - can't as in present tense.

    I explained my mini eruption of anger in a previous post. You can apologise whenever you like ;)

    Ah.. there you are. Thought you had gone for a mo'

    Don't be too annoyed at me but I have started a thread in the DFW to see if anyone is willing to help.

    Here's the link.

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1925361

    edit. ps. Only worth 40% what you paid for them? That is worse than I thought. Poor you.

    My response on that thread:

    Hi guys I am the one that Newbie is making himself a fool over. Unfortunately he is wasting your time because he has made a bit of a fool of himself on another thread by wrongly assuming that I am in debt, when in fact I am quite well off and retired early in my 40's. He is just acting very childish that's all.

    I suspect that you do quite a good job on this forum advising people that need debt advice, it's a pity that people like newbie waste your time with silly pranks when there is good work to be done.

    What on earth are you rambling on about?

    40% idea? I am saying that my current mortages are only 40% of the current value of the property (therefore 60% equity).

    Why on earth would I want to be on the 'Debt Free Wanna be' forum whan my assets exceed my liabilities (try reading my previous post again). If I wasn't in that position I would not have retired early in my 40's I would have carried on working.

    ignore them Chuck, don't let him wind you up ... just report them if they start to annoy you.

    retired at 40, not bad going.

    i guess your tracker mortgages must have dropped quite considerably.
    you're mortgage must only be about a quarter of the rental income.
    that is some decent profit.

    ...where you premature with the Enter key?

    Look, we disagree over the + and - of IO mortgages. You said I "didnt know what i walking about" and i retaliated by calling you a "moron".

    Dont take the moral high ground here. It's just a debate :beer:

    Only getting a quarter of the original rents? Jesus, that is terrible. Wait a minute - Chuck and Chucky? You two aren't trying some sort of wind up are you? I don't want to look a fool.

    Anyway I'll take it at face value and update the DFW thread.

    It's ok Chucky I am not wound up at all. in fact I think it's quite amusing that newbie is acting like a 13 year old.

    I am more interested in trying out a set of lawn bowls that I recently borrowed.
