    Well I figured most of the bitterness towards me when I was living with parents while saving my deposit was actually due to the fact I wasn't willing to pay a stangers mortgage, and the bitter ones were said strangers who wanted there mortgages paying.

    A thought came to me while looking at a link a fellow MSE posted to HPC co uk. There members are in a chain gang all dreaming of the perfect day when they buy a house at the bottom. Little do they know there doing life! I guess something has to keep them going
    Most of the posts made over the long weekend were from bulls talking about the housing market. Perhaps they do know what they are doing with their lives but it doesn't seem very exciting.

    can't help his/her/its jealous.

    funny thing is I am typing this from the comfort of my living room on my HTPC connected to my 47 inch tv.

    No

    I think you will find most of the bitterness directed towards you was related to you repeatedly referring to tenants as losers.

    It's a bit rich for a mummy's boy, living with momma until his thirties, to dismiss independent adults as losers

    Good job I got out way before 30 then, I will repeat this again, I don't think tenants are stupid/losers etc, I will say some certainly are as with all groups.

    Anyway if you want I can repeat the orginal statement with the full context explained at it might just get into you tiny closed judgemental mind, would that help or do you wish to keep repeating lies?

    The HPC gang were all up in arms at a recent Guardian article suggestion that people in their late 20s or older still living at home are 'losers'. I never realised so many of them still lived with their mums!

    A couple of reasons: Could be they are unable to find employment, or plain old priced out of the property market due to obscene bubble prices engineered by money lenders and other vested interest groups. We have robbed our young of hope.

    always next year....

    Rather like watching the politicians in Euroland lurch from potential disaster to disaster. As the envitable train crash will happen. The current situation is not sustainable long term. Finance operates in a similar way and rules as Newtons Law of Gravity.
