Self certification is how. Trouble is, it fucks people up when interest
rates rise even a little bit and I'm not sure it's entirely legal.

You're very right about the savings side of things. Have a word with
your bank and I'm sure that they can do some magic with savings
accounts.

 

It's something poor people need to buy a house.

My first job had a 6 figure wage, including the pence. Weekly basic was
£18-56, then take out accomodation costs of £6, and the army took some
and stuck it in a savings account so I was left with about a fiver a
week to live on. I earned more from paper rounds aged 14 than the army's
basic - I took a wage cut to go and work full time.

 

beat me too it , 15% plus they dont know thier born today

its stil peneuts though , in the late eightes and early nineties they
used to rise by 1 % at a time often every month

Thiers unlikely to be a house price crash ,the government couldnt
afford the fall out from it

Always made me laugh when the army took out accomadation costs , the
money they paid (and still do) is terrible for the mear minions

So how comes I'm only getting 4.8% on my dosh at Intelligent Finance?

I don't like banks.

You get a gun and free bullets though.

 

You're supposed to *borrow* money from banks.

That'll teach you to give them your money then.

 

Pshaw. I fixed at 4.47% for two years in December[/QUOTE]

What are these things called mortgages of which you speak?

 

You're not investing properly Paul. I get around 15%....More now the rates
have gone up.

Something poor people have.

 

Dem bullets ain't free.

Out of interest, how much does a standard round cost these days?

Anybody know?

What're your investments in?

 

Because if they were Stupid Finance, they'd be paying you more than
they're earning from your money.

If you are not totally 'risk averse' and can tie lump of cash up for a
reasonable period can one not invest via a funds supermarket in France
along the 'Fidelity' lines?

Very pleased with SVM UK Opportunities Fund at the moment. Well not over
the last week given a 2.7% fall, but +20% over 6 months and +16.6% five
years annualised is not to be sneezed at. Yes, I know, "past performance
is not an indicator of future performance."

I *do* hope you had a t-shirt on underneath.... And weren't in a place
frequented by, er, anyone..

It probably makes most of my behaviour look questionable, tbh, but I am crap
and that's my final excuse.

I was a long way away from it for a long time and got lucky, but I always
found that, with debts, it was very easy to increase them, whether they be
mortgage, credit cards whatever in the hope that you'd eventually get lucky.
Pay them all off and, even with a modest income (say, national average-ish),
we are spending less than is coming in for the first time in years. That
said I haven't bought a new bike for a while (well, 3 months anyway). Or a
new car (the current POS, lhd, Focus Diesel is quite depressingly dull yet
unreliable compared to the Alfa). So it may all change again soon.
