    Are you a renter, spreading the word, hoping for price falls?

    Maybe in receipt of housing beneift, due to be capped?

    Or just another over indebted, praying for house prices to rise back up to something above what you actually owe?

    You're attention seeking is very immature. I get the impression there is little happening in your life.

    Again, I'm confused, why did my post, asking whether posts were being deleted, disappear? Who did I offend?

    surely rent money pays for te roof over your head and shelter is one of lifes basic needs so how is it dead money??

    Absolutely.

    the rent we pay means that I'm in a nice, warm flat, not huddled in a cardboard box under Waterloo Bridge when it's freezing.
