Wondering how I'll pay my mortgage
Comments
-
So every piece of advice is valid and just? No-one is trying to stigmatise me for my situation or blame me (even though my children's father seems to get off scot free) for not providing for my children?
.
I can't see any advice that wasn't valid, although not all of it would be suitable for you at present, and nobody I can see has stigmatised you or anything like that.
Andyandflo has, quite rightly, come in for a lot on criticism for his dubious advice, although, interestingly, you thanked him for this and said he was sympathetic to you, when you could find yourself in serious trouble if you were to follow it!0 -
Still, not to worry. Won't be long now before the mortgage interest payments stop and you'll be well in the dog-poo and TBH, you deserve to be there.QUOTE]
This is justified and helpful advice is it?
It's certainly not polite but most of it is true - even the last bit if you don't get your head out of the sand.0 -
I never said either of those things...
No, but I'm being lambasted by virtually everyone on this site for not laying down and accpting everything you throw at me!
Seeing as no-one has any genuine advice to offer I guess I will just stay on benefits for another 10 years after all..
(Cue rant)0 -

May I ask, do you own a Tardis, as you appear to be from another time in space.
Yes, I expect you're right, I will live on the streets and my children will be taken into care - it's what I deserve after all.
Listen to yourselves, for pity's sake.0 -

To be fair I think I gave you genuine advice and information regarding your original question. As far as SMI payments ending goes - it isn't advice, it is fact and will be endorsed very soon. This was information that was/is relevant to your situation to warn you that there are harder times to come.
There was nothing nasty said or meant in any advice or information I gave.0 -

that's an insult to those who did try and give you some relevant information and advice, this always happens when the OP doesn't get patted on the back and told not to worry everything will be fine.
Get yourself a reality check, I think it's long over due, infact you're going to get one wether you like it or not and by the sounds of it in the not to distant future...0 -
It appears to be a case of Chinese whispers.
All anyone wants to inform me is that SMI payments will end, that I should have accepted a job that I have no experience of desire to be in (ooh, how DARE I express an opinion on what I do for a living!) It's all getting a tad repetitive now.
Shame no-one was able to give any answers to the actual question I asked in the first place rather than tell me what I should be doing instead.0
