I quite agree.

Another way of saying it is that they've essentially lost the war and have been forced to fabricate largely meaningless battles to cover the retreat.

DYOR. All you are doing is showing that you have bought into the whole idea that rising house prices is a good thing and that it makes you wealthy. Very few people benefit from rising house prices.

You bears make me laugh, you are just bulls in waiting. Once you buy a house you will be just as bad as they are with the constant cheer leading of HPI and the constant hope for low interest rates at all cost.

There is a third way. Choose life. Opt out.

But we have always had inflation and I don’t think that will change and therefoer rents will increase, the price of the house will increase nominally if not in real terms and your mortgage repayments will also reduce.

I can assure just because I own a house I don’t feel wealthy I feel better off than I would be renting but that’s a different thing.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. You are so entrenched in your HPI is Wealth viewpoint that you can't see outside the box. Open your eyes and smell the coffee. You don't have to be trapped in home ownership, spread your wings and learn to fly again, learn to live so free.

I feel really trapped sitting here paying no rent or mortgage.

With hundreds of thousands of pounds invested with a return equating to a roof over your head. I can get that in a tin shack. Anywy, why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like when doves cry. Perhaps it's just the case that you are too demanding or probably your Dad was too bold? You are remarkably like my Mother, she is never satisfied.

Ah ! well a-day ! what evil looks
Had I from old and young !
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck was hung
