    You either want a discussion where i might say something that hits a nerve and you take it like a woman or you dont want a discussion you just want to bleat on about a house price crash that won't happen and ignore anything to the contrary?....which is it boingyboing?

    Wondering if the credit crunch fears, that according to recent news may have been exaggerated, whether this will slow the crash brigade even more, must admit the 20% falls that some commentators were calling may be a tad high on reflection.

    Dear me, the optimists live on!

    What an utterly obnoxious thing to say.

    You may not be racist, but that comment is pretty sexist.

    You are a flamer looking to spark a reaction from people, so "shhhhh" for now and try it on someone else.
    Keep the right company because life's a limited business.

    I'm sorry I really don't get this racist thing, a monkey is an animal and I know it can be used as a racist term, but as we are all just blue names on a screen on here how anyone can be racist to anyone else is beyond me.

    Doesn't matter to me either way darling, just like an even keel on things i mean let's be honest 90% of the advice on here is total c.rap and 75% of this crap is from people who have never been close to buying a house.Zammo before you jump on this post i will say that you nearly bought a house once before having a "change of heart" :o

    Hard work, loans, and debt sore me through uni. Hence, my debt. We dont get grants and such now im sad to say. Hence why the average student leaves uni with at least £15,000 debt.

    Must say you must've been a partier to get that much debt.

    Student loan debt (which is a different type of debt imo) is on average about 9.5-10k

    Other things like your credit cards are a bad way to live... any student could realise this.

    No offence to you but I didnt pop 3-5k on a credit card as a student... this would be insane to do.. due to the interest rates involved. Instead I didn't go out as much, I worked 16 hours a week... and slapped all the extra money into an isa.
