Good news all round. It's raining money over the UK
It is indeed, last year in London the average Londoner in the average Londoner house made twice their take home tax free from HPI.
My shares are going up, my pension fund is increasing, my house price is rocketing, my business is increasing, my customers are happily eating above inflation price hikes.
It literally is raining money all over the UK and I'm collecting as much of it I can.
Even the trickle down effect has started to happen, as I am starting tip a lot more people now.0 -
It's always amused me that people are prepared to spend millions on a pokey flat in Chelsea when they could buy a six bed detached house with paddocks and stables in Surrey for about £1.5M.0

Once again. Short sited thinking going on here. Good job we have Pastures New. Voice of sanity.0

It is raining money ..... it is, just get out there and grab some of it before the Election!!
House prices up, wages up, inflation down, energy bills over the winter lowest for years, savings increasing, shares up, dividends rolling in, rent steady and all properties rented out, how can it get any better?Bringing Happiness where there is Gloom!0 -

As it is not the current policy of either of these parties to join the Euro,this comment lacks truth and is anyway off topic.
Actually I suspect there are more paper pension millionaires than there are paper property millionaires
Either way,I agree that being a millionaire now does not have the same cachet and spending power as it used to -maybe that is why the truly rich are now described as multi millionaires ( or even billionaires !)
Reading comments from the likes of Mr Ree are a great reminder to always keep complacency at bay in our financial dealings.0 -
Some people won't get off their butt to take a bucket outside .... would rather moan on here how no-one knocks on their door and hands them the bucket full of cash.
They are so stupid that they can't even see it's down to them to get the bucket first!Bringing Happiness where there is Gloom!0 -
The privileged boomer elite might 'rejoice' at these price rises, but for hard pressed young families it is just another headline of misery; a million reasons why their simple dreams of owning a house have been pushed further out of reach.0

Yet, it's funny, millions of young families are buying homes to live in, using the cheapest money the world has ever known!
While the baby boomers struggle to get more than a poverty income from their savings.
The young are the winners here, and the winners from the young are the success story ...... of course, chavs watching Jeremy Kyle rather than working may consider themselves 'deserving of the taxpayer to make their lives even better, ..... I don't!Bringing Happiness where there is Gloom!0
