I do not want to get into your spat with renoman, but just in passing I wanted to say I actualy do get irked with some I meet who have had help from Bank o Mum and Dad or an inheritance because a few years down the road they erase the 'luck' from memeory and act as if thier good fortune was down to thier own efforts and skill. I see this often.
One total knob got a massive redundancy from BT, about £200k a while back and soon after was Lording it up as if his new home and so on was entirely down to his Alpha Malesim when in fact it was just luck and nothing more.
Another I know owns a very small footwear shop in a provincial town. One of those that is about 58 and loves running round the town in tight shorts. He gives off this deliberate air of being a wiley businessman, and to be fair he has worked very hard indeed and is a great salesman and always saved hard. What irks though is that he met a divorced woman and she got several hundred grand out of the divorce.
Fast forward a few years and our shorts man had bought several buy to lets, and simply forgets the massive good luck cash injection from the new wife. He like others Lords it up as if he alone by dint of effort created this newly added wealth.
It's my weakness that these folk irk. It's probably because I've worked for every damned penny.
Saw a programme the other night on BBC three. Was called something like "Young, rich and house buying".
Talk about spoilt kids. Sounds like it'd raise your blood pressure!0 -

I don't think RenoMan has any BTLs.
The only things I know for sure are that your last 6 words appear to be true.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -

An update.....JonnyBravo wrote: »1) I'm at risk at work. Good chance I'm going to be laid off with 40% of my level being given the chance to "shine elsewhere". Been there for a good while and hopeful a good package will be agreed if it comes to it.
The package was good at 3.5 times statutory plus a few other bits.... but I'm not one of those "shining elsewhere". Good times.JonnyBravo wrote: »2) Our longstanding tenant has given notice and we're going to "test the market" by attempting to sell before we look for another tenant. Willing to pay for a small void to see how we go but if interest is poor then another tenant it will be!
Very little interest. Going to rent it out again. Put it on with a 27% rental increase.0 -

Thanks and yep. Going for full market value on the rental (according to the agent). I hadn't realised I was that far behind the market. Of course it has yet to be rented at that rate.... I'll keep you up to speed.0 -
