Indeed.
Yes, there are some pretty nasty and outrageous characters on HPC, but are there not a few here ?
Celebrating the rise in the cost of housing is on par with celebrating the downfall of someone who has lost their job/house. Why ? Well if someone loses their job, it isn`t pleasant for them, and to "have a go" is not a nice thing to do. Having said that, if they were a "Sibley" type character who spouts off all the time how well they are doing, and mock those who haven`t "invested" in property for one reason or another, then I don`t mind admitting that I think it would be fair play.
Celebrating a rise in the price of buying/renting is like celebrating the cost of food/petrol/gas/electricity/clothes etc. If a rise in the cost of food made everyone`s life better, it would be good news. If a rise in the cost of property was good for everyone, fair enough. In a way celebrating a rise in the cost of property is worse, as it means that Mr Homeowner is gaining wealth from Mr FTBer. And even worse, the higher the cost of property, the more influence the banks have on people`s lives.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -
Fella I wouldn't let them bother you.
They are a spent force. To be fair they probably called it right until the government took measures to support the housing market.
Once QE kicked in and the other actions the HPC dream was finished. Anyone with a brain knows that houses in most areas will rise not crash.
All you have now on HPC is the bottom rung. Losers.
I've said it before. It's like asking a tramp on a park bench his views on house prices. He's not in a position to buy so who cares what he thinks?
They are the type of people who own a K reg Escort and slag the new Ferrari model off saying they would never buy one.:rotfl:
You have a cheek to slag off HPC when you talk the biggest load of cr.ap i think i've ever read0 -
Pastures needs to have a word with this guy keef, he seems like a magician.
Plus the interest on their savings pays their rent.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -
