    the point of saving for you is to buy a property. And if house prices continue to fall you will still be losing money even after you have made the purchase, which all makes the point . . .

    that money is a means to an end, not an end in itself. It's all about choices. You could moan about "losing" money on your savings and then moan about "losing" money on your house value OR you could be glad about being able to save up for a property, and then be glad about having your own place. Your choice.

    Agreed.

    Hope I am not moaning, but a few thousand is a lot for me!!
