MW: IS buying cheaper than renting?

And for some reason you appear to be very, very, very interesting in my posts.
Honestly, I appear to be catnip for a certain demographic. :kisses3:
"interested" in your posts, correct.
You just seem to be extremely interested in house prices, yet you can't afford to buy one as you're renting with your sister.
riddle me that?0 -
Really. Cos I remember the GHPCers (as well as myself) ripping the mick out of you for not buying in the final years of the bubble.
And I remember you telling us time and again how you "retired".
Of course new forum, name name, new reality eh Columbo
:rotfl:
No. You are well aware I retired after my last flip in 2007.
But I guess we all know the depths you are prepared to plumb to win a point.If I don't reply to your post,
you're probably on my ignore list.0 -

That is quite a riddle, as I'm not actually renting with my sister, and theres no reason you should think so.
Yet you mentioned it more than once now.0 -

Actually I'm aware of quite the opposite. No doubt why I said it.
But just like your cut and paste edinburgh antics, maybe saying again and again and again and again, across mutiple threads across multiple forums will make it true.0 -

Except for these facts...
1,you are renting are you not?
2, you live with your sister?
If points 1 and 2 are correct then what I have said is fact.
Anyway let's not have this trivial fact ruin a blossoming relationship0 -

Thanks for proving my point.
We can all see the Edinburgh stats, and yet you claim they aren't real.If I don't reply to your post,

Sorry, but did I not already tell you I am not renting with my sister.
I really have no idea why you would think such a thing.
I've said it once today allready. Deep breaths.
If this is insanity is how you respond to a minor forum smackdown,
you're going to burn out in days.0 -

Strawman.
As I recall I looked at the edinburgh stats, informed you that you were misinterpreting the date, and sat back contentedly as events unfolded in exactly the way I said they would.0 -
