dances with sheeple

Towards the end of this thread there is a lot of advice on cheap accommodation, it certainly isn"t "hotels" though, personally I feel anything beyond a Travelodge is basically a waste of money, there are deals if you spend time on their website in advance, you need to be mindful of the areas they are situated in though because there is no value if you are constantly on alert just walking over the street at night.

Or maybe swim far out to sea away from all his troubles. Got to feel some sympathy though, what happens if loads of people just stop paying?

WTF.

How did that get out on the bbc?

How did that get out on the bbc?

"Ain"t no legal drama in the W*ank bank!"

Looks like my link got lost, I will try again. I would not expect that to be printed in a bbc article, but this bbc Scotland show was shocking in that the bbc showed this - starts at 9,25 and the weird (for the bbc) bit is at 12.29

I doubt he says that in a bbc article, BUT I was actually shocked to see this on bbc Scotland...starts at 9.32 and the slightly weird (for the bbc) moment is at 12.28.

For example here, where they talk about withdrawing the link on the last page of the thread and online views going from about 64 a day to over 20k in one day after they posted the link on MN. https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/property/5027481-judge-my-rightmove-listing-please-no-viewings?page=16

Yes, they trot that out a lot, but more people on MN now are just coming out with "It"s the price", "rates went up you can"t get that price anymore" etc. very interesting because that site gets a LOT of views.

Yes, they are just rambling nonsense it sounds like.

"until he had a working Meccano vehicle made of hate" Pardon? LOL, what drugs is this person on?

Any global knock on effects?

A lot of people would love to work into their 70`s, depends if you enjoy it or not I suppose, your points about time in the market etc. are interesting but there is also the chance of making the right call on a stock that takes off big time and gives you very big share price and dividend gains, that could happen any time any day no matter what age you are, as long as you are putting in the research of course, I think you should attack it from all directions 1) Start young (time in the market) 2) Be constantly learning, researching and developing your emotional approach to investing (more chance of finding a really good stock or investment idea that pays out big at any age, most people just putting money into their pension every month are not equipped to be aware of investments this way, they barely understand how their pension works) and 3) Just switch off the notions about age and life chances etc. that society seems to promote (the guff SKY news etc. bleat about) keep healthy and mentally alert and create your own ideas and life opportunities.

The "elite" are getting badly burned on CRE, they won`t make the same mistake with residential, it is far better for them if the masses have spare money to spend, that inflates stock portfolios and dividends, the best way to have the masses spending now that the cheap debt is gone is a HPC to free up spare money for the economy.

Interesting thoughts, not sure the masses will be any more awake though in the next 20 years TBH, if anything they are more asleep now, and people were grafting a lot harder decades ago (no WFH at anything like the scale the internet allows) and still didn`t wake up to the magic of dividends on a massive scale? (outside their pension that is) I think most people want gratification now, they want the holiday, the car etc. the magic of dividends and compounding doesn`t excite the masses like a credit card and instant access to cash does?

I`m talking two and a half days to be able to take anything in other than more alcohol to ease the pain, although it would be many many years since I personally have been in that state........... I could handle a drink every night (Never have a drink in your hand while there is still light in the sky, as a character in a Stephen King (ex serious drinker and drug user) novel once said.......no idea if he made that up or if that is a common saying?) as in a couple of whiskeys or a large glass of wine, or maybe a can of beer, but getting tanked up every day is a short cut to physical and mental health problems IMO.

The real pleasure is sobering up, losing the headache and being able to hold down food again.

Anybody got any views on this? https://www.vanguardinvestor.co.uk/investments/vanguard-ftse-all-world-high-dividend-yield-ucits-etf-usd-distributing/portfolio-data

That`s interesting because not long ago they were silly prices, 200 quid a night in Skegness etc. at the weekend, my take is that because a lot of traveling trades types use them this indicates a fast slowing economy.

That`s cheap, Travelodge will be hitting a tenner a night soon.

Is that when young people go home to mum and dad, help to rent for free?

Many will be younger, maybe renting or recent mortgage, many will end up back at parents IMO, and they will be partying and travelling less so double whammy on BTL/AirBnB?

Borrowing 50k to go to "Uni" was always going to end in tears, there are far too many people at Uni, it is absurd and not even funny any more, the young are being conned on all fronts now.
