Had it on the test match special :beer:

What is that? Have I missed an easy opportunity to have watched it?

I don't think I need to explain or justify the minutiae of my background, motivations, creative passions, or anything else so personal here. Not all life's decisions are 'investment' decisions, and only a robot, or money obsessive, would think they are. Money is secondary to life, love and art.

No you don't need to explain or justify, but this is a forum! Money is not my god, it just simply buys things.

Of course all life's decisions are not about money, who said that they were? But nevertheless investment decisions still have to be made. I don't understand why you are so wound up, but at the end of the day, I don't really care, I'd rather be thinking about England winning the test match.

How can anyone be expected explain and justify on an internet forum the origins and minutiae of all the personal factors that go towards making personal life decisions, which primary take into account personal motivations, desires, interests, and passions? That would be difficult to fit into a lifetime of psychoanalysis and several volumes of autobiography. If I say that I feel my decisions are the correct decisions for me right now, I don't expect people who know nothing about me to tell me that I am wrong, and that I should change my decisions, according to what they say I should be doing.

I think you need to chill out, you sound even less relaxed than Ben Stokes is right now.

i am completely chilled because I am very happy that interest rates have gone up. I just object to being told by a stranger that my personal life decisions are wrong, and I that should start living my life how he says I should live it.

That made me chuckle.

No didn't watch it, had it on the radio.

I realised after I posted, because I googled 'test match special'.

Only time will tell how this plays out. I hope, if debt servicing problems in the economy deteriorate with rising rates, you will admit your error.

Enough with the crocodile tears. You don't virtuously fear what may befall redundands with mortgages if rates go up. You want rates to go up because you're long cash and short property and you imagine that rising rates will pay off for you personally. This is why you're so exercised about a piddling quarter of a per cent rise (to the third-lowest base rate in 300 years).

Crashtrolls - they're all the same.

I am 48, and yes I am currently renting. I made a lot of money buying and selling commodities futures when they were in a boom a few years back, but the main chunk of my capital is from the sale of a house in Chelsea, which I bought when I was 23 and did up. I intend to buy land and build a house in the country, but since I made my money by buying low and selling high, I just cannot bring myself to buy at a peak. I call them winnings because markets are a casino.

I call fake.
No commodity futures trader would refer to "commodities futures" and if you bought a house in Chelsea in 1993 you would have needed a 7-figure sum even then.

I never said I was a commodities futures trader. I happened to follow the advice of JIm Rogers and buy oil, agricultural and other commodities ETFs, which are composed of futures. Plus, a run down house off The King's Road at Worlds End could be bought for about £450K back then, but I am sure you would not have done that, since you don't know it. And I do not need to explain myself to any old nosey stranger who goes around accusing other people here of being liars. You people on MSE are really money obsessed and psychologically odious people, throwing your insults around with abandon, and trying to control people you do not know into doing what you think they should be doing with their lives.
