We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.

This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    Gordon Bennett!!

    I have never said that I want house prices to crash.

    I just think they will correct AND I justify my reasoning with informed arguments.

    I haven't seen your justifications for your opinions. I ask myself why not?

    the question was for your partner in crime who just admitted to wanting a crash.

    Where did he say that?

    My "partner in crime" just so happens to be an absolute stranger who has the same opinion as me.

    I came to MSE to ask about ISA's, you might be able to see from my history. For some reason, you're being like the Church of Scientology - instead of coming up with informed arguments, you desperately seek a way to discredit the messenger who bares a superior set of arguments.

    I dont want to discredit you at all.
    I just hate liars who make up stories to influence people.
    I dont give a toss what happens but there are people on here who
    would be influenced by that lunatic.

    I've re-read what he wrote, and I can't see where he's implied that he wants house prices to crash.

    Thanks to all that gave advice. My children are all under 4 hence why I am not working at present although before them I worked full time for 20 years, so to $$$ I think I have contributed to the system in my time and am certainly not a "drugged-up chav princess".
