Bobbins Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 You've hoped and prayed for HPC for many years now. Now that it's finally happening, do you feel a sense of anti-climax? Did you think HPC was going to make you feel better than currently do? Is it a bit like chasing that girl/boy you fancy - once she/he succumbs, well it's just a bit dull. Is living for the chase the exciting part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.steve Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Nope. This is just the start of a very interesting chapter of history. Agree. Now is an era of change - after stagnation and entrenchment for a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is living for the chase the exciting part? Nope, I'm loving it. Every. Single. Day. My assets are in safety (I think!) and my employment is secure enough and paying well. I've read the match programme cover to cover, I'm sitting in a seat by the halfway-line, a cold beer and hot meat-pie in my hands and the match is only minutes old. What's not to like?

sbn Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I certainly haven't got what I want. I want a house that I can bring my family up in. I want to be surrounded by people who have worked hard for what they have and therefore have a value system based on reality. NOT reality TV It's a huge beast and its taking ages to turn. The longer it takes, the more I enjoy it. The madness of the last 10 years has turned me into an UBERSHADENFREUD I will laugh at every single repossession that I think was deserved. The longer it takes to return to normality The longer and louder my manic laughter Echo's round my humble home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcryingoutloud Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Is it a bit like chasing that girl/boy you fancy - once she/he succumbs, well it's just a bit dull. I'm not sure what you do with the girls that 'succumb' to you, but personally I don't find that part dull. Surely there is nothing worse in life than chasing something and not getting it?

sbn Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 If I am forced to go along with the Girl Chase metaphor, At this point I feel like the teenager who just got his first tops and fingers. When I'm 75 pumped full of Viagra, and wondering If my heart will outlast the gravy strokes...... then I'll start to find it all a bit boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is living for the chase the exciting part? A HPC is great for those who have an aim to buy a house at some point in time....many are happy to rent forever, nothing wrong with that...buying a house at whatever price is a commitment and can tie you down, you need to decide what you want out of life...a mortgaged home is not for everyone.

time 2 raise interest rates Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) Well it was inevitable you can't run an economy on people buying and selling houses to each other forever, it was a nice try though, just the fallout left . Hold on tight the best is yet to come. Edited July 16, 2008 by time 2 raise interest rates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bart of Darkness Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I think we might be witnessing a one in 300 year event - possibly bigger IMO even than its precursor in the thirties. No matter how deadly - it's thrilling. Did I ever mention that I like the quiet life? Ah well, too late now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you think HPC was going to make you feel better than currently do? Is it a bit like chasing that girl/boy you fancy - once she/he succumbs, well it's just a bit dull. Is living for the chase the exciting part? Nope. But I don't feel that happy either. Why? Well, houses are still insanely overpriced in this country. So have I got what I wanted? Nope, not yet, I'm afraid. Still, I'll probably feel happier in 6 months time. And even more so in 12 months time. And then... Well, you get the idea. This HPC has been a long time coming. It can't hit the bottom soon enough for me. But realistically I know that's still years away. Fortunately, I'm patient - and on a cheap rent.

Did you think HPC was going to make you feel better than currently do? Anti-climax? I'm living a couple of doors up from a house (very similar to that which I rent) which has just had it's asking price reduced by more than I've paid in rent this Millenium and is still, like the two next to it, "For Sale"! It's like Xmas, accept the presents are regular, and to the value of Porsche 911s. Quite frankly, this is sodding bliss!
