I put across the MFW views and because I destroy their financial viewpoint,

Psychologists have long been aware that each of us is a thinker, and also a prover. The prover proves what the thinker thinks.

This is why almost all older scientists OF EVERY GENERATION PAST are unable to accept the 'new' theories and usually go to thier grave with thier older theories that they are so hooked into emmotionally. The prover proves what the thinker thinks.

Your reality tunnel was created by you to filter out anything that undermines your arguments. But we each have a different reality.
So you might well not have destroyed anothers arguments, you just think you have. The prover proves what the thinker thinks.

I did one post where I said it wasn't nice to call people 'thick !!!!' or 'idiots'

I can find places you effectively undermined people's intellect and 'bottle' and described them as negative / miss the boaters and at the same time held up your own life choices as being worthy of admiration.........

Thats another way of stating they were idiots, you are worthy

Errrmm yes.
I am 23, so you can't use the age argument on me.
And no, I haven't bought yet (well I will have in a week and a half, so might not be on here any more.). I actually came on here to get practical advice on buying a home, but I stopped bothering cos all you get is abuse. It's just obstructive to the actual advice that is around.
Blah blah blah you are going to have a hefty mortgage, yeah whatever. I am not stupid and I earn more than enough (in fact more than twice as much) than is needed to pay for my house. I pay that in rent now, so I KNOW I can afford it, I don't just THINK it. And believe me we aren't short of disposable income either at the moment.

Brit isn't just out to work out the best time to buy, but to berate any one who has bought in the past 2 years (which is clearly not necessary), and only to buy when prices have dropped 60% or whatever figure they have picked out of the air today. And they won't buy until that happens, spending their whole life worrying about it.
I have said before I have no issue with people planning to rent for life if that is what suits them (my grandparents did it) nor waiting to buy if they can, but to act as if they made an amazing life decision a few years ago when others just put a gun to their own head, when in fact it was mainly luck, is just wrong.

Like a previous poster said, there were a lot of people who said in 2000 "There's a crash coming, don't buy now". Bet they regret that. Now may not be a good time for alot of people to buy, but to claim that you foresaw the future is silly.

And I don't know why you highlighted that little bit about buying to save money, yes, that is what Brit is doing, they will ONLY buy when they feel they have saved enough money to justify the worrying they have done about houseprices.

You may think I am stupid, but if our plan works, we could be mortgage free in 5 years (by age 28), with no rent or anything else to pay. Even if I could have saved up and done that anyway, I wouldn't have had the satisfaction of having kids somewhere where I feel secure and happy.

PS I have rented for 7 years so don't tell me it's all fun and games.

:rolleyes: Crackers.

If at the current mortgage rates you can buy a house and have paid the full mortgage off in 5 years then you really do have more money than sense. If you have that amount of cash going spare then why not wait a couple of years and just buy outright in cash?

You're absolutely crazy and if you can't see this then.... :rolleyes:

Perhaps, but I usually find that the proof of an argument/discussion 'lost' or 'destroyed' is when you lose control of yourself and either attack your opponent physically or become verbally abusive. ?

Totally disagree - Just because someone gets angry doesn't mean they have less of an argument nor vice versa. The facts speak for themselves, whether someone delivers that argument with anger or not. So when you insult people and make them angry does that make you think you have won? Maybe you are deluding yourself?

If someone gets angry and delivers a passionate and compelling treatise about the subject in hand then they obviously have not lost the argument. If someone gets angry and delivers a passionate and compelling treatise on how 'your wife is a bloater' then they obviously have.

If you can't see the difference then I'd suggest you routinely lose arguments but just don't know it.

Oh pleaaaase - I think you routinely wind everyone up and make them angry and have made this little story up as YOU ARE IN DENIAL. People get angry around you alot I should imagine.

We plan to put £30k a year into the mortgage (one wage) and live off the other wage. But my wage is going up pretty quick so we will be able to put more in from next year.

I DON'T WANT TO RENT!!! That is the end of it. I hate it with a passion, it is expensive and I am fed up of waiting on other people to get things fixed. I have had 7 bad years experience of it and can't wait to get out.

If that means I end up paying more for my sanity then so be it.

We live in a cheapish area, have good earnings and can afford a house we love and want to raise a family in. Sorry if that is so awful!

PS the interest only part of the mortgage, even for the 1st year, is significantly lower than renting would be.

I agree. :T

I love the way he's seen right through LillyJ's self-importance !!!!!!!! and Izzy's oh-so-hard decision making and literally taken every one of their posts apart to show the holes in them. Saved me the job of doing it anyway.

Well done DD ! :beer:
