Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics.

    Unless inflation has eaten away at the value of that money?

    Well I guess that could be true and taken as a minus point but don't forget you are dripping money in month by month not putting it all in at the beginning and waiting for the maturity date and it has at least given you a nest egg even if you don't see any profit from it but more often than not you do.

    There is never a better time to do share saves than in recessions/slumps. I have one coming of age this April and (currently), looking at a 250% increase on the SP. I should imagine that will cover the inflation lol, just need to be careful with CGT :mad: which Clegg should have wiped to encourage more of us err you to do it.
