£10,000 in six months? Is that it? Chickenfeed. My portfolio of shares has increase by double that in around half the time, and exchange rate fluctuations means I've made nearly £40,000 in the last three months alone.
And I try to save £200 per day.
Come back and talk about some serious money sometime Hamish.0 -

This being the internet I shall only give out information that I deem to be within the limits of what I want strangers to know, even though I'm a stranger to all of them myself.
By the way, I've owned previously and know for a fact that if you pay 7.5k in mortgage payments in 10 months, you certainly won't have paid 7.5k off your mortgage, and you being a new home owner should know that, and if you don't you're in for a rude awakening when you get your first annual statement.:D So don't you worry your pretty little head, I've done all the calculations based on facts (rather than assumptions) and I'm well up, trust me, if I wasn't, I would buy.
Whos a clever boy then, your quite quick enough to jump on hamish but then when it comes to your own circumstances you are very quiet, how did you lose your house before??
I hope you have done all the calculations, but obviously from the last post you never calculated house prices would be going up, likewise the deals the banks are giving out on new mortgages are getting higher, back in april you could get a five year fixed deal at 3.99 you will be lucky to get anything near that now.
that along with your rent i think you may be on to a loser, but if you say your well up, well done.:rolleyes:0 -
Each to their own I say.
Why berate someone for their own choices? The only time I do that is when I'm jealous and feel the need to make myself feel better.0 -

That aint jealousy. That's Hamish being a !!!!.
Theres a difference between saying "I want house prices to go up" and Hamish saying "WOOP! House prices up, brilliant news for everyone, they will double in 3 years, you will never buy, haha".0 -

“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

Would you like to explain this 1 Graham?
Please tell me what I have to be jealous about? No seriously what?
Im 26, have a gorgeous wife and child, a 4bed detached home worth around £250k, a £55k income, £60k worth of cars on the drive, a whole load of sociable friends, foreign holidays, massive family bladdy bladdy blah. Its all material i suppose, but I am only 26, and lived like this for a good few years now so why would i be jealous of someone older than me living with parents with nothing but part of a house deposit? Are you being serious?
Skap..Cheap shot!!! Against my will:rolleyes: I was 17 when i left home and have stood on my own 2 feet ever since, best thing I ever did which is obviously plain to see. If you are living with parents you are not standing on your own 2 feet, it's as simple as that. Its just the same way that those that use the benefits system cannot support themselves either (You are being subsidized by someone/something else)
Yes my willy is bigger than yours:p Sorry I couldn't resist.
