  • Reading the prior threads started by the OP was quite enlightening and you can see how entitled he is and why he struggles to save for a house deposit. He certainly likes to treat himself with expensive material goods. 4K TV’s, Xbox’s (that must colour match the TV?!?), expensive mobile contracts, holidays abroad, BMW, and extortionate insurance. Sounds like he’s living the life of riley at the expense of the parents.

    Scraping the barrel, are we? I'm saving fairly well, thanks. 😂

    Funnily enough a money saving forum is generally a good place to find good deals on things. FYI, the TV I bought was less than £300. 😂

    I'd hardly call my phone contract expensive either, nor do I even own a BMW anymore. Which by the way, was a 14 year old BMW that I sold on after 2 years of ownership for near enough what I paid for it.

    I've been on 2 holidays abroad in the last 5 years. I've turned my Xbox on about 5 times since purchasing it.

    Again, thanks for your continual support though. Must be nice to have the time to graze through my posts in order to feel better about yourself. You are an incredible 'real man' I must say!

    What a waste of money. Splashing out on an expensive top dollar luxury item then only turning it on 5 times. Yet from your threads I note that you also just had to purchase the top range Microsoft certified headsets and headphones also.

    But my favourite thread of yours is asking how to get into BTL despite living a subsidised lifestyle and having no intention of moving out of mummy and daddy purse strings nor experience. But that never bothered you personally. Thankfully other LL’s jumped onto that thread to call you out for what you are, a lazy chancer.

    And I quote: “As someone who's a frustrated in their early 20's who's had enough of working already.. I'm determined to find another way.
    I have no desire to buy myself somewhere to live. No need”

    Working from the age of 18 to mid 20’s, all while you live under the the roof and rules of your parents, and you have had enough already!!! Pathetic.

    Thread: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5473791/buying-to-let-for-a-simpleton

    I repeat. I called you out as someone not prepared to sacrifice yourself. Only others at the alter of your ego. Bravo, you self declared “simpleton”.

    Expensive, top dollar, luxury item? Now you are trolling. Luckily I 'ain't care' for your opinion wet wipe. ��

    Have you answered any of the questions you've been asked numberous times in this thread yet or decided they aren't relevant for you to answer? :rotfl:

    I'd rather refer to myself as a simpleton than a 'Real Man' you specialist warrior.

    They're a bit stalkerish, aren't they? Perhaps they picked the habit up at a top-tier Uni or somewhere:rotfl:



    As others have said,you can pick up decent houses a little further up north. I live in Northants which is only an hour away from Central London and the prices are reasonable - here there are two-three bed terraces on the market for £150k.

    Yet from your threads I note that you...


    You seem to spend a lot of time trawling the internet to win some sort of argument for someone so busy and successful as you are. Especially since you were moaning about people wasting time on the internet all day instead of being a productive real man, what, 2 pages ago?


    You're just making yourself look creepy at this stage, and it's not doing you any favours.

    Quality cognitive dissonance coming from yourself, who averages 3.29 posts per day to my 0.33. Have a word with yourself. The OP has been called out for what he is. I make no apologies for exposing him.

    The OP has zero intention of ever moving. You are wasting your bandwidth. :rotfl:

    The trouble you have is that you are both a simpleton and a man-baby who squanders money. But that is the easy part if its your old folks subsidising your lifestyle I guess.

    I don't really squander any money in the grand scheme of things - so your wrong (again).

    Hopefully you'll find another thread to make use of your real manliness on. :rotfl:
