Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

    the discussion in hand, was a 3 year pay freeze for public sector workers, redundancys and pay cuts for private sector workers, your nominal/real falls, and the reality that the two in your eyes are not related?

    If you can't see it and want to argue about this ... so be it, but argue with yourself, as its pointless to continue discussing with you!

    There was a crash, people realised this and moved on... have you, or are you desperate to win the argument? there is no argument. what people have basically said is, yes granted its true, your right, waves, and move on ... the reality is the economy is in bad shape and whether there is a house price crash beyond 2011 or not is not the issue, its whether people who are struggling get to stay in their homes that they have been working hard to keep for many years.

    Its going to get very nasty out their... unrest will not be the word!
    Plan
    1) Get most competitive Lifetime Mortgage (Done)
    2) Make healthy savings, spend wisely (Doing)
    3) Ensure healthy pension fund - (Doing)
    4) Ensure house is nice, suitable, safe, and located - (Done)
    5) Keep everyone happy, healthy and entertained (Done, Doing, Going to do)

    Difficult to argue/discuss in any meaningful way if you keep changing the subject.

    A case in point.

    The point is im discussiing your original post, on a DEBATE house prices and economy forum.

    This is not the HPC forum, no ones interested in the word crash!, no one is interested in tin hats (since plastic ones are just as effective and lighter)

    At the end of the day... ... ... go to sleep, good night!
