Hypno's "no more boom or bust" diary

taka

You bought a house during your A-levels? :eek: Wow! I thought I was doing well as I had just finished 1st year at uni when I bought my 1st place...
:rotfl:

I was 37 before I bought a house, and I am still unconvinced of the benefits! I loved renting and lived in some fabulous places with no cares about maintenance or fluctuating house prices!

I bought my first house at 18 - one bed starter home.
Next one at 22 - 3 bed mid terrace
Next one at 25 - 3 bed detached
Then at 26 - 4 bed detached - everything ok up until that point.

Then at 28 bought what turned out to be the house from hell.........
sold House from Hell at 31 and rented for a year.
Bought present 4 bed detached at 32.........still there.

The plan was for me to be in the dream house by 40.......I started off well, at least :rolleyes:

Hypno was the house from hell a dream house (well supposed to be)?

i bought my first one bed flat at 30 and i'm still there. the plan was to buy a 3 bed dream house next year or the year after but it's been scuppered slightly after yesterday's news.
not sure how i've gotten on with bb today, set my cards up to be played but this site is the only interesting site you're allowed to log onto from the works puter. booooo to boring IT folk who restrict all your accesss to everything!

No - it was another step on the way......except it turned out to be a very large step backwards rather than then expected step forwards :rolleyes:

Thats shocking Hypno, I'm sorry that happened to you but I'm glad you have been able to work your way out of it, many would have given up!

Interesting to see house histories! I haven't had many, in spite of my great age

Bought first flat age 26
Sold it age 30, rented/squatted/moved around for 18 months
Bought first house, terrace, age 32
Bought 2nd house, semi-d, age 43.

Still there!

The immediate future: bought 3rd house, detached, aged 55.

Oh I've had my "shall I give up" moments along the way, believe me!!
