    In your mind who is the biggest gratuitous selfish self-entitled offender in the present housing situation?

    Shouldn't our friend Hamish be the fourth option.

    :D

    Only kidding Hamish, I think you are great.

    The STL is an idiot who has no financial sense whatsoever.

    I don't know about that I'm far better off than I have ever been. It has been so easy to make money in the last few years be it shares gold or silver anything but bricks and mortar.

    Yes but don't forget leverage.

    I've not yet seen a post from an STR whose anything other than "considerably better off due to his STR decision".

    The sad thing is, the answer is all three. The first 2 options because they view housing as a money making investment.
    And the third option are usually spoilt brats who probably never have or never will need to do a hard days work in their lives.
    Why are we here?......................because we are not all there.

    I'd accept your criticism, had I ever posted a poll on this forum.
    30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.
