Which is worse, being stupid and paying a landlords mortgage or sponging off your parents and sneering at those who have managed to cut the apron strings from their mummy, and dont feel comfortable with elderly parents subsidising their lifestyle?

I'd definitely say it would be the latter category

Are all tenants stupid now?

nollag2006 or are 2 posts away from my ignore list

Noooo!!!

Not the ignore list !!!



Some facts for you Percy boy.

You are a pathetic little man if you think all tenants are stupid, and that sponging off your elderly parents is behaviour to be lauded.

fancy redeeming yourself with something sensible/thoughtful?

I ask the same question of you.

Percy1983

I do not refer to tenants as stupid but I do see much posting in here about how people are stupid to pay there landlords mortgage.

My point is it seems that the young are either stupid or mummies boys according to some on here, lose lose situation.

As for my answer, well its clear from my choices it makes more sense to stay at home longer if welcome and save for the better long term target of actually buying.

At least you have tried to debate so I won't ignore you just yet.

I see another quote form MrsRewired, I am still confused, by all means you seem to know my life better than me so when did my parents clear my debts for me? as much as I look back on my statements I can't see where they did. By all means I wish they did then I could have bought a house sooner.

Not true

I am not much older than you, and have rented in my early twenties (which makes me stupid according to you)

All my adult life, I have stood on my own two feet, and feel nothing but contempt for mummy's boys like you who come on here sneering at those who have grown a spine and refuse to rely on handouts from parent to subvent their lifestyle

If you are happy to sponge off your parents until you are married and facing into your thirties - good for you.

Personally, I think that's a disgraceful abuse of their kindness.

Hope your new wife knows what she's letting herself in for.

I'll sleep a lot better tonight knowing that some complete stranger on the internet isnt going to throw a strop with me and storm off in a huff back to his mummy

Percy ... don't know if I'm bad enough to warrant a prized listing on your ignore list - but, I wouldn't threaten people with it as no-one actually cares too much, just do it and move on, yeah?

Clearly PercyBoy is such a mollycoddled man-baby he fails to see that many tenants rent wisely and within budget, often sharing with friends, and certainly do not sponge a penny off their parents after the age of 18. That said you need friends to share with in the first place boy, now don't you.

Oh, so you use that one off expression man baby after such a short time here.

Now I wonder who else uses that expression?

Ok I will firstly say if anybody has ever taken it as I think tenants are stupid then I do apologise, that was not my intention and I was referring to posts which point towards this by others, I do not judge people based purely on single factors of their lives (unlike some in here it would seem).

Don't worry my wife to be knows exactly what she is letting her self in for, as it is there is 1 month between us age wise and she like myself also lives with her parents.

At what point have a sponged off my parents, I have paid what it costs too keep me plus extra, due to this they will have less money when I move out.

I will add my parents wish the best for there children and are more than happy for me to stay in part of the family home while I put things in place to secure a decent future for myself.

In short my answer is every family is different and what may work for one may not for the other, in our family everybody is happy with life so far so who are you to judge?

MrRee, as you may see your not on my ignore list, I don't agree with much of what your say but you you do actually enter into some debates at times rather than insulting and trying to belittle others.

I do tell people when they get added to my ignore list so they can save their time posting messages aimed at me as I have no intention of reading them, if they decide to grow some balls and debate like men then please let me know and I will remove them from my list.

Come on, the first time I ever heard that term was on here - and - I have to say, I found it really funny and an apt term.

And I couldn't help myself using it if the time and occassion presented itself.

That does not, oddly, mean that I am the same person as another in the MILLIONS who use it as well.

Only in your bonkers world of Gnomes, Goblins and Fairies could people who use the same words be the same person!!

Tell us, was you an unloved little boy, seems like you have a few issues here.
I too left home at 16, and never returned for longer than a day stay since, something I now regret.

You seem to have some real issues with kids, young adults and families.

Percy1983

The thing is there really isn't a right or wrong way in life, some people can't wait to get out and others are quite happy staying put.

I would say it can depend very much on the relationships with those involved, I have a friend whose parents still treated them like a teenage so he got out asap, meanwhile you people like me and a few of my friends who have parents treat them like adults and the relationship changes with the times.

Now I know this will be seen as lies but out of my group of friends there is only one who has bought a house before me, 3 have rented (2 of which are back home now) and 4 have never moved out and are at different stages of saving/clearing debts.

Interestingly my wife to be and 1 of her bridesmaids has never left home and the other bridesmaid as rented but is now living back at home.

Thinking back to my dating days I didn't find one women who didn't live with her parents (18-25).

I have no idea if this is just a local area thing but it would seem at least locally what I am doing is normal which I suppose when surrounded by people doing the same thing I have never felt pressure to change it.

I guess these days be it renting or buying you need somebody to do it with and finding somebody at the same point in life who you could live with isn't that easy, so if you have a loving family not pushing you out and its not restricting you life then why rush it?

Now fair enough people are entitled to an opinion, but surely there must be a point where you realise that not everybody who does things differently to you is actually doing it wrong...

Well I think I have just witnessed one of the worst cases of asking price fever I have seen in a long, long time where I live.
A 3 bed semi has just gone on the market for £215,000!! :rotfl::rotfl:

Try £165,000 more like it and that would be very generous.
