Sell up and stop complaining about going hungry and cold.

Well, I haven't had to beg lloyds for £1,500 yet so I'm doing better than some.

How childish (-:

I have a good deal more than a grand stashed, but whether I am £100k in the red or black is irrelevant to what I post on here.
I am sorry you are in dire straits with things set to get worse for you if the property does not pick up, but you made your choices.

I hope things don't get to bad for you, I really do inspite of your nasty attitude, you are not the first to lash out at the messenger

Well, in rented, you'd get benefits.

So you're basically saying that instead of receiving benefits to help keep them in their mortgaged homes. People should sell up, use their equity to fund themselves short-term and then receive benefits to keep them in their rented homes.

The fact that it would ultimately cost the taxpayer much more to keep them in rented accomodation than in mortgaged accomodation seems irrelevent to you, as you have avoided this point when it was raised several times.

The reason that people are suffering without payrises and an ever rising cost of living, is because we have a financial and political system that jealously guards the wealth of about 3% of the population

Whilst endless greedy price hunting by mse types has no impact on wages at all...........................:rotfl:
They all bemoan British wages, whilst on the other hand they greedily hunt out cheaper chinese ink and tryes.

If we force British wages, prices rise and so even less British output is purchased so even more people are without a job

Dohhhhh

Yeah I'm working on improving my attitude and making myself incredibly hypocritical and abusive, I just sent a couple of tweets to a few celebrities calling them !!!!!! in hope of achieving this.

If it's any comfort, I also feel sorry for you, knowing your job doesn't pay for the rent on your hovel and that you cannot afford your sub standard rental accomodation on your above average wage (your words, not mine, don't lash out at the messenger).

If true, you take joy from this??

You are not a very pleasant person are you joe.

I sincerely hope you, your family and your friends are suffering no problems when it comes to housing, regardless of how you come across.

My post was in the exact same style as yours, why so hypocritical?

Of course, the difference is that your post was made up and mine was real.

Joe, you are in some kind of imaginary battle, and it is scary that you cannot even see it. The opening post was on a topic that did not even mention you or involve you, yet you are somehow trying to make out it is a one on one fight

Nearly every post of yours is a snipe, and how is it that if all my posts and contributions are total crap, you choose to believe the bad stuff that I post about myself, you really are an odd character blinded by anger.

Good luck to you anyway, I hope you and your family are housed well, the day I become as spitefull as you and take joy in others misfortunes will be the day that I have lost respect for myself

Downsizing could work, selling up and moving into rented doesn't make a lot of sense though.

Really!!

To someone who is supposedly hungry and cold and cannot afford this that and the other. There are people in the world today that wake up and start another day not knowing where the food is coming from, and the day after, and the day after that. We have had periods like that in the UK, some very recently and I dare say we will see times like that again here(if we are not already)

Just say someone has only £50k equity, and say that they were only paying £250 a month mortgage. £15k would pay for three years in decent rented housing, £35k left to get them through the tough times, that is a hell of a cushion.

You later go on to say on this thread "what if the money runs out", well what if it does. What sort of guarentees do you think someone should get just because he/she once had a mortgage. And if the UK is still in a mess in three years time, well God help us all.

Of course it is noble to fight for your own home if that is what is most important to you, but like you and so many of your mates say on here, you do not have a god given right to own, and more importantly don't play the sympathy card making out you are going hungry and cold when you are in a postion to eat and live like a king for years without doing anything.

I felt it necessary to point out your hypocrisy with the comment "life's not fair". If you accept life isn't fair why do you send abuse at banks and politicians on twitter? If you don't like it when people point out you're being a hypocrite then may I suggest not being one?

My post was in the exact same style as yours, why is it that it makes me spiteful yet you aren't? Why is it you're allowed to accuse me of sleeping with prostitutes, accuse wotshat of being an estate agent and living in his ex-council house etc etc, yet when I point this out to you, I'm the one that's spiteful?

I'll give you a clue, it begins with H and rhymes with mypocrite.

Think very carefully about your next post.

Be they homeowners or renters there seem to be a lot of people complaining that they are finding it hard to cope but the bottom line is they are coping. Its never hard to find people to say how hard up they are whether they are is another matter.
