imagine if we did live like hermits and on about 110k a year ffs.. we could be quite rich the day we retire..over 300k in the bank i rekon. i help both my sons a lot though..matthew we'll be giving him 20k when he leaves home to help him buy a house. what proper parenting is all about ffs A nice gesture for your son. My current goal is to pay off the apartment I bought last year in Toulouse by the time my daughter wants somewhere to live, and give her the keys to it. This is part of the reason for not buying much HiFi.

I really hope you get that Camaro because it’s a win-win: -You save to get it, so no wastage on trinkets. -You get a dream car to enjoy. -You cash it in when you feel like it and your savings towards the villa take a massive hike. The route most folk will take is: -Spend half their income on trinkets and stuff to try and compensate for time lost working. -Then there’s the mortgage or worse...dead money renting. - Another large chunk on car finance.... largely just to travel to and from the job they hate. - No savings, loads of interest and a devaluing car that’s worth nowt by the time the finance package ends. Rinse and repeat all the way to retirement on subsistence income...if you last that long. It’s tragic to see hard working folk sacrifice so much and have little to show. That’s why I like it when I see people playing the game and winning, Edit: And also why I hate it when people think it’s ok to never work and breed large families in order to generate a benefit income and lifestyle.

oh yeah never ever. if i ever had to take a loan it would never be secured on this gaff. 90 percent of swedes have seen their houses value double over the last 10 years..so what have they done...yep doubled their mortgages to buy cack..some even buy places in spain by using their houses as security. utter fucking madness. these mugs here think rates are gonna stay at 1.8 percent forever..how fucking stupid can u be thinking that

I did. When I moved to London in the late '70s, I rented a bedsit for £10 a week. It was horrible, but so cheap that at the end of three years I'd saved enough for a deposit on a flat. By then, the Council told the landlord he needed to install fire escapes, smoke alarms etc and he told us we had to move out. Of course nowadays rents, even outside London, are so high that my approach would be doomed to failure.

I rented for over ten years, 1987 to 1998. Not easy to save a deposit when they are paying you F#ck all. I had to move out of a great house I was renting on my own into a shared house where I only had one room just to have enough cash left over each month to save up a deposit. Took seven months.

I seriously doubt that will happen in our lifetimes. We might see 5 percent base rate. Maybe. I know you don't like the idea but I suspect all the mofos with interest only mortgages and everything bought on tick will get away with it.
As Keynes himself said when asked what happens in the long term - 'In the long term, we're all dead.'

I'm thinking that the dire predictions being made about the outcome of 'hard Brexit' are ludicrous and possibly criminally irresponsible.

Time will tell, but Christmas may be a bit difficult if imported fresh goods are on hold due to delays at the customs etc.
You can gaurantee that the French will make it as hard as possible.
With the current value (and recent trend) of the exchange rate, I am looking forward to a bit of shopping when I come back for my holidays.

You think they will hold up the French produce? They will probably delay I ports as well, causing motorways to become car parks. I see that Peugeot have also stated they will close their U.K. factories in the event of a hard Brexit. More people worse off if they do, and the rich like BoJo getting richer. I hope I am wrong, but I fail to see what good will come from a no deal Brexit.

I’d Probably buy a pretty normal house in Cyprus, say £250k. I’d need no more than 20k a year to live on and I’d want another 200k rainy day fund. The rest would go to animal charities. No way I’d spend 20k a year so I’d probably end up with a decent sum plus the property going to the animals when I’m done here.
No way I’d want loads of properties or business hassles. Just being free to wake up and enjoy life in lovely surroundings is all I want. Even the hifi is something I could do without.

If the property is well managed, you don’t have any worries. Sure, the return on investment is slightly less, but I did not buy the apartment to make money on it. I reckon that by the time my daughter is old enough to buy a o,ace, it will be like the U.K., and she could end up being priced out of the market.

Summer here, winter there. That's what I'd do. Best of both worlds and none of the ag that comes with owning foreign property.
