    Reckon you 'pouncers' should be running weekend gazundering master-classes, fees about £1000! Plus you take 25% of the saving made by your 'graduates' who you introduce to distressed BTL sellers, developers of new-build flats up t'north and peeps with 120% mortgages from the Crock.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I'm in. I put my house up for sale in February for 249950, accepted 249000 2 weeks later from a FTB. Instead of getting myself in a chain I arranged to move in with a friend - who charges me 'a bit of gas and electric'. I completed on 23 May after 3 months of sweating on the doom and gloom headlines coming through. My furniture is spread between my friend's and my parent's houses so I haven't even got storage costs.

    My buyer had a mortgage offer withdrawn before the Nationwide provided one. I'm now completely debt free with a good deposit in the bank and planned to start looking straightaway but as it turns out I'm perfectly happy to wait and learn to be a saver. I'm looking at two years to add to my deposit and watch what happens.

    It all feels surreal at the moment. I've never checked a savings rate in my life....

    Greed personified. Human nature I suppose... vultures sweeping.
    Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.

    I was going to comment on that but decided not to look like a geek.

    Bankruptcy isn't the worst that can happen to you. The worst that can happen is your forced to live the rest of your life in abject poverty trying to repay the debts.
