Why is it that people are so desperate to own houses?

!!!! me, you managed to type your way through those whole 6 paragraphs without realising my point had completely passed you by.
For clarity, my point was "life isn't fair" is a stupid argument to attempt to justify ignoring any injustice with. Resorting to it demonstrates the reasoning abilities of a small child. That isn't to say you have to give all your money to charity.
It was YOU wasn't it, that said passing by charitiy collectors at a supermarket demonstrated questionable morality?
Why shouldn't you give all your money away, if your morality means giving to the less fortunate? You should equate yourself to their conditions of barely surviving out of moral duty.
You missed MY point! You question MY / OUR morality whilst demonstrating your own discrimination by keeping yourself comfortable.
Or,
Bob Geldoff can ask for our money for his projects, when HE has none left to give.0 -
If only you had waited another 12 to 18 months before you bought eh.
I thought this was supposed to be a money saving website:rotfl:
If you read my post I never mentioned savings, etc... In fact, it would take a hell of a lot of problems and activity for me to regret my purchase.

I wasn't desparate to own my own home. The opportunity arose, and I could afford it, so I took it. Bought in 1994 for £36K with £1800 deposit. Oh, how times have changed.0
