Feeling like we're going no-where!

Don't forget that a great many people living in these nice houses are up to their ears in debt, have nothing left over at the end of the month after paying for it all and are bricking themselves every time the monthly BoE interest rates are announced.

At least you can say hand on heart that what you have is yours.

I live in a very modest house and have a modest lifestyle but everything thats in it is mine and paid for in cash. My brother has the lifestyle you envy and even though he lives up here in East Yorks, his £800 a week income isn't sufficient to pay the bills and his wife also works. Between them they have over £1300 a week coming in and are so skint and up to their eyeballs in credit that they can't afford to replace the car my brother wrote off last week with anything other than a £500 banger.
