    Lilly's absolutely right. Debt spent on a good education is an investment, not like blowing it all on fancy holidays and electronic junk.

    Don't let silly people offend you, it's not worth it.
    No Debt is an investment.
    You would have known well in advance that you were going to Uni, should have made an effort to have loads in savings before you went.

    Hello crystal balls, still dreaming I see.

    Are there sides here? Why don't you take your stupid arguments and images to the house price crash site with the rest of the loonies, we prefer to talk about hairline cracks in plaster over here, much more refined y'know

    Sorry if the idea of debating an argument with evidence scares you but I will remain. I don't post on HPC, I post on other sites where I can challenge baseless comments.

    Is the heat bothering you?

    My 2 year old daughter just walked up to the laptop and said "Daddy it is a monster that has come to get you" There is an element of truth in her comment.

    So how many properties do you own?
    None?
    Unless people need to sell, you aint gonna get your crash, that you so desperately want so that you can jump on board the housing ladder. You just sound so bitter and twisted, It must have really hurt when you realised that your ship had sailed.
    Just remember when it hits your rock bottom we will also be buying up houses to add to our stock.
    I wonder what that will do to your prices?

    Great post BTLNewbie

    Made me laugh out loud

    The sour grapes from the HPC lot are really sickening

    I'll have to disagree with you and current released information goes against your stand unless you can back it up.

    I also like to inform you that emotion takes part in my opinion to buy. It is purely down to hard cold mathematics, planning, patience and risk analysis.

    That may be true if you have saved large deposits but I wouldn't count on equity in your other properties. I may also not wait to rock bottom as quality of life considerations are brought into my planning.

    However with a large deposit all ready, a high payed job and a good credit rating I am strongly based to take advantage of the right time.
