Tragic case... "This website has failed"

I can't take moving again. I can't take anymore paying for someone elses mortgage. But I cannot afford to do anything else. I'm trapped in a system not of my making, one I never wanted to get into. I really can't gather the strength to keep on. I have completely failed my family. I cannot give them the settled life they deserve.
This website has failed.
I would have been better off going for a liar loan. At least we would have been settled and not treated like the scum of the earth, and the government would have looked after me.
I think this will be my last post here.

What a sad, sad story.
Delayed purchase since 2004..... What a massive, and irreversible mistake. This poor fellow will never be able to undo the damage he has done to himself and his families future.
He sounds genuinely depressed, so I do hope they've checked up on him.
http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=159727&st=15I can't hang on. I am being kicked out of yet another house. This is no way to live a life.
I'm not even sure if I want to continue full stop anymore.
A cautionary tale on the very real dangers of trying to speculate on timing the markets... And listening to bad advice on the internet.

Why post on here about another forum?
There are frequent threads on hpc linking to mumsnet and MSE posts, as I'm quite sure you're well aware. Most often to mock some poor unfortunate person who has been negatively impacted by the recession.
In this particular case though, it's too sad even to mock.
You just can't help but feel pity for anyone suckered into believing the hpc propaganda, and ruining their families financial future as a result.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Honestly Hamish, you need help. What is wrong with you ? You have a home, you can make the payments, you don't foresee any trouble for yourself in the future, so what's it about ?
You said the other day that you 'despise' people who want houses to become affordable. I think with that statement and re-posting this sort of the thing from an unrelated website, you need to take a break.
You're 'faux' concerns regarding these types of people above (and I've seen it many times now) also strikes a kind of strange way of thinking.
If you're in a good position, these people and their posts really shouldn't be concerning you so much, so sincerely Hamish, take a break.Have owned outright since Sept 2009, however I'm of the firm belief that high prices are a cancer on society, they have sucked money out of the economy, handing it to banks who've squandered it.0 -

It was you wasnt it Spamish? Why do you spend so much making up usernames on other forums and then posting them on here? Very sad.
That bit you typed about if he bought the government would have looked after him is the wrong way around. Its if you rent the government pays for your housing if you are on low earnings.0 -

No, I said the other day I despise crashaholics.... The "bears" that wish to see the economy burn so that they can "snap up a bargain".
Then I provided proof of just such a statement. Funnily enough, from one of the hpc-apologists that's posted on this thread.....
I have nothing against affordable housing..... Build as much of it as you like.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Oooh, this one has you lot rattled.
A bit close to home, no doubt.
So now you claim I invented a time machine to go back to 2004 and register an account on hpc..... Just to make this post.
Yeah..... right, sure I did.That bit you typed about if he bought the government would have looked after him is the wrong way around. Its if you rent the government pays for your housing if you are on low earnings.
Nope.
2 years of mortgage interest payments if you're unemployed for more than 3 months.
Of course, if you have savings, even as a renter, you get nothing until you've spent it all.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Suckered into believing hpc Propoganda? we can't mock this sad tale?
Jeez thats a piece of spin/propoganda Goebells would be proud of, well done H you should go for a job at the govs press office. So we are all expected to accept we're all wrong because some guy somwhere has had a tough/unlucky run renting. If he'd have found a decent house/landlord for the last 5 years he might be telling a different tale, maybe tho he was unlucky enough to be renting of landlords like the GHOUL.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Regardless, when you start to despise anonymous people and their ideologies this much, it's time for a step back.Have owned outright since Sept 2009, however I'm of the firm belief that high prices are a cancer on society, they have sucked money out of the economy, handing it to banks who've squandered it.0

So you have to know people personally to despise their ideologies?
I've never met a member of the Nazi party, but I despise their ideologies....
Besides, a bit rich for you to be preaching about strange behaviour AD, after going through dozens of usernames and subsequent bans having been banned from MSE the first time.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
