    My house is my savings and pension plan.

    I want some of the crashers to address this.

    Because my mortgage payents were cut by around £250, I decided to buy a new car with a loan. The payments are £200 odd a month.

    Now technically what you are saying is that your savings are funding people like me. I like that.:rotfl:

    Instead of you getting a good return I've bolted myself up and your paying it for me. Cheers. I'll slug a few beers this weekend in thanks.

    If my savings were in a bank account, maybe.

    I'll also enjoy a few beers, thanks to the fact that I have switched a fair proportion of my savings in deposit accounts into other investments which seem to be doing quite nicely.

    Cheers. :beer:
