BrickingIt

You treat a car in the same way as a house. This is partially the point. I'm not advocating 10x income mortgage, that said of course with a house the value cannot be quantified in manner you seek to some extent. A million pounds for a house in Yeovil. If someone values it so and your investment appraisal falls short. So be it.

You are making value judgements on a house. Good luck.

Regress into paranoia to satisfy and continue the gamble.

There is simply no competition, its like saying a person who buys a gold wedding ring is silly because they are competiting against all those gold speculators prevalent on this forum. You do not and cannot understanding this concept. Like a gambler cannot have a meal/drink in a casino and enjoy it as it is. The gamble is everything.

You are are gamblers in the same way as many a BTL'er is a gambler, in the same way as many a naive (chartist?) investor is a gambler. You met many a better gambler. To bet house prices are going to go up is no different to betting they go down. You are still in the game but exhibiting a tendency for compulsion. The losing run must end soon?. I'll stick to my quid on Betfair .

Firstly, if your wife is still training to ACA then to expect to afford a house is something, I certainly couldn't years ago and I accepted it as I was still training, had to start somewhere. Secondly, if you bet on house prices, this is a potential outcome. Accept it. You gambled, and lost. Don't gamble again. Thirdly, you parents offered you a big some of money, many, including mine never were in a position. You lucky sod. Does that put things in perspective.

And you're calling it.

Good post. Flies in the face of 99% of the bear bulls**t on this site hence interesting to see some the replies.
