Lie and say you need to turn your video off because your net can’t support it properly. Then you can just f**k about and just occasionally unmute it and say something to pretend you are still listening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 On 18/10/2020 at 11:07, Jambomo said: I think mortgages are interesting in yeah, objectively you are better off getting something for the money at the end of it. Yet it can be a bind (if you move around a lot, hassle and cost of selling or letting), dependency on housing markets not to lose out, they can be a cash drain in terms of cost of repairs, especially if there is a building issue. You don’t have any of these if you rent. Some people prefer the freedom of this, it’s all about personal preference really. We are also looking at it through an old lens. Mortgages take a long-time to pay off and these days, jobs don’t pay as well (in inflationary terms) it’s likely that similar to renting, you don’t necessarily have much left over afterwards for savings or to do things. I don’t really have a strong opinion either way, I rent because I couldn’t afford to buy when I was younger due to the rent/low paid job issues. Only this year have I got into a job that pays well enough to put money aside for a deposit but I thinks it’s probably too late now. That said my circumstances have both benefitted and decreased from renting over the years, I don’t really regret not being able to buy. I understand that buying a property may be very difficult for some/many and others may move around a lot, however, it seems mad not to if you can. If my options are A) Pay say £1000 a month for 25 years and at age 65, never have to pay a penny on mortgage/rent again, sell house and downsize and have £100,000 in the bank. B) Pay £1000 a month forever It seems wild to suggest option A is not a zillion times better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 There's no sensible reason not to own a property as opposed to renting if possible. We had a rare good luck story on the Edinburgh property market and could rent our flat for around 50% above our mortgage payment pcm which is ridiculous of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he can afford a better fleece tbh with what I pay him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was in charge of the money stuff, my ex definitely kept the house and, first world millenial problem though it may be, having to do everything in the house, every day has kind of fucked me up. Everything is now my job. Remembering birthdays is my job. Remembering to get the boiler serviced is my job. And speaking of jobs, I need to keep my actual job because I don't have anyone to help me if I end up unemployed. The feeling of responsibility has been like a physical weight and I find myself feeling stress like I never have and it makes me a feel a bit ill sometimes. I'd take a look at the figures and get a cleaner to come in once per week if it's feasible, no fucks given to the outrage. The same goes for using a laundrette service. The amount of time that people waste trying to (badly/inefficiently) do household chores in their free time when a professional will get the job done no bother is insane when you actually break it down.

The money to time freed up ratio for a cleaner is an absolute no brainer. Nobody thinks twice about paying people to clean their car or windows so what's different about polishing the surfaces 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathematics Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 If I could find a cleaner that actually cleans and doesn’t just dip my bank account for swanning about my house, then I’d be a little happier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
