And so the merry go round continues! This is what people were saying 5 years ago :rolleyes:Gorgeous_George wrote:You need a lightbulb moment.
Then, go over to the Debt Free Wannabe board and learn to love paying off debt.
Pay your debt off over 4 or 5 years and houses will still be for sale - possibly at half the current prices (depending on planning laws, interest rates, immigration policy, demography, Bird Flu etc.).
Personally, I doubt houses will be more expensive in 5 years time (unless you live in an area of regeneration).

Have you thought about that before making flip remarks?
