But you wouldn't be saying that if you didn't already own would you ISTL?
Absolutely I would.
It wasn't easy when I bought my first property, but I had a realisation that if I wanted to be a homeowner, I would have to make decision and cut my cloth in order to be one.:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.

If the market crashes, which is did, and would without stimulus, hence the stimulus, there is also the problem of neg equity.
That's where I personally would be stuffed.
I guess it's down to how you define "stuffed".
In my opinion you would not be stuffed, you would maybe have more restrictions imposed on yourself but you would still have a roof over your head.Graham_Devon wrote: »Whether you would be or not is neither here nor there, nor any of my business. A lot of the country however, would be stuffed.
Payments are just one part of being a home owner.

The reference to those being prudent was for those who became homeowners and my point is that the majority of homeowners would not have been "stuffed":wall:

Oh I must have misheard then. Someone was saying something on the Debt boards and it sounded a bit confessional, and I thought "oh I hope that isn't ISTL with a fake ID pouring out his heart". They claimed to be living in an Aberdeen crackhouse, but still keeping up appearances on the House Price board.IveSeenTheLight wrote: »Hmmm, not sure where you got that from, I own three properties.
