Matteeboy. I can't be bothered to read your extremely long post which is obviously going to be biased towards renting because that's what YOU do.

I love it, a debate based on what you think someone might say but you cant be arsed to read the post to confirm.

Read the small print, thats a good way of avoiding debt !

Ta for the reminder, I owe my pops £20 for fuel ( I forgot my cashline card, last Wednesday and the car was running on air lol) other than that I'm debt free, The 2.5 billion mansion is paid off, the Ferrari's are paid off, although I'll owe old bob 20 quid tomorrow when he cleans them :D

How much has govt injected? I haven't heard of this. Regardless, the problem is a short term problem as indicated by long term LIBOR rates and falling swap rates.

So if imports are expensive, exports will be cheap. Please do explain the problem with this?

But now it is very difficult to get better than 80% LTV (?) "

Complete bollox. There are more lenders lending 125% now than 6 months ago or at any time in the past 7 years.


Would this wealthy and astute person happen to read the Daily Mail?

If that isn't a debt, then I really don't know what is!!
Not knocking mortgages but find it interesting that people forget about them conveniently when talking about debt.

Default on a mortgage and you really are in the deepest of deep merde.

Only if your lender's equity is greater than your own ...i'd like to see them try & reposses 'their' 25% lol

At the moment i owe £650 on a credit card and that is it. Saying that! i have no money left in savings as it's all been spent on my house this past few months. New bathroom etc etc. i hate having no money in saveings so i'm trying like made to get some put away.
My mrs on the other hand is in about 15k worth of debt from uni.

fast bloke 29 September 2007 11:56 PM

Daz - They can repo you for 1%. Anyway - it will be interesting to see if Matteboy can justify the 'musing' of his rich friend or if he made it up and needs to leave again like he did with the fast boat and the crap car

we sold up and moved to brisbane australia 3 months ago so nothing

Ian 30 September 2007 01:17 AM

if i add up all my stuff it would be around 25/30k, and i earn 16.5k a year. and that is for me, the mrs and 6 month baby girl.

yes things are hard, but we try and do the best we can, and be happy
