Guy at work.. Should i tell him?

i could laugh but its not his fault... He is young and will be a victim of this HPI...
Although saying that he figured "hous prices can only go up". Hehe so i can be a little smug that he thought he a student could afford a house and it was wiser than renting. Nevermind.
You're making yourself out to sound like his jealous lover!! :rotfl: Something you'd like to tell us!?!
Leave the poor guy alone! For all you know, they'll live in it for 10 years, prices will climb again, and they'll make a killing. Or he'll land a £300k pa job and pay the mortgage off within the year. I don't have crystal balls either. or any balls for that matter.
Now go mind your own business!Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -

Just todays pickings from property bee. So prices arent dropping? the FTSE isn't dropping? USA isnt in a recession? Uk isnt heading for a recession? Northern Rock didnt loose !!!! loads of money? US Bear Bank didnt loose !!!! loads of money?
Ok bury your head in the sand them my friend... guess you have a vested interest in property otherwise you'd see the signs.. like all the nation.. god even he sun newspaper is reporting this.0 -
he wants to sell after 2 years. 1 year left on his fxed deal.0

Do i break it to him or just let him delude himself?
He's going to find out the hard-way sooner or later.
If you tell genius-university-boy the real facts, at least he may have a bit more time to prepare for what's coming to him. One of the biggest financial kickings you can imagine.
Did Uni-boy never even open a financial history book? Did he ever read a broadsheet newspaper in past 12 months? Did he take his property educations from Kirstie on day-time tv? Trouble with people today.. their so busy spunking money on stuff they don't need, or watching Eastenders... they have no idea of how things work now that reality is coming back.0 -
He is spot on then, as long as he didn't limit himself to a particular time frame.
...or a lifetime.
I don't expect my home to be worth 10x my income ever again (in my lifetime) so I'm selling. And it hurts 'cos I love my home.
GGThere are 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those that don't.0 -

Have you thought about getting a social life?
Yes, and a fiancee... thanks for asking though your concern is appreciated.
Ye of little knowldedge. It takes me 5 mins to check the rightmove listings via a daily email. Hardly 'too much time' wasted eh ol' chap.
As with most things... you can do them easier/faster with a little thought behind em. 0 -
in one years time when people stop panic selling there houses.
Then there will be less houses on the market meaning the ones that are will become more popular which means the houses will cost more .
i dont think you should get involved in this lads descision to buy a home as its his home
