How old are your offspring? Serious question by the way. 

 

One is old enough to wait cafe tables at weekend and the other is just shy of early teen.  

When they earn a full time wage they will be expected to pay or move out- exactly as we the parents were told. 

At 25 living with mortgage independently skint. 

No way will it be like

Once again I'm having to stand up for someone on here, what is happening to this place? He has plenty of company and is a good friend of many, many shiters. He's also been a member here for even longer than I have so at least 15 years.

Please have some respect man.

He does sound like a wannabe Hedge Fund manager although I suspect the hedge is more of the rural sort in his case.

I'm really beginning to understand why some people go no contact with their parents as soon as they can.

Changing the topic slightly..

Spotted a pair of poorly advertised Makita  nut runners on eBay, local with no delivery thus cutting out interest from bidders miles away. 
 

Set an alarm on my phone to remind me to bid.. the countdown begins, get ready with a bid 10 seconds before the end, the tension mounts enter a bid aaaand…the fucking screen won’t load. No internet connection, obviously miss the auction and have to go “cold turkey” with that buzz you get when you get a BARG. 
 
It seems to be an anomaly that you can still see the time ticking down on eBay even though the connection has been lost.  Not the first time I’ve been caught out but that’s life I suppose.

Anyone who takes the advice of a random internet stranger without looking into things further is asking for trouble.

So now we can close this and all the other forums.

I think the "looking into things further" is key. The internet stranger is one source - if it seems to tally generally with other sources, it's probably good advice!

If it seems wrong and at odds to all the other sources you've researched, it's probably bad advice.

Theres a couple of services you can use to automate the bidding. I use one called Gixen occasionally.

I’ve used most of those and used up all the “free” bids before you need to pay for service, although I haven’t used any in years. They did seem to work quite well. I should look into them again.

I would never rent a property to a relative or friend, you’ll always end up doing things to keep them happy that cost you money that you wouldn’t do for a stranger. And do you get thanks? No they moan about you charging them rent because they feel entitled to stay for free.

Cant pay the rent? Doesn’t matter , you’re their friend , you don’t mind do you? After all you have a spare house , you’ve got plenty of spare cash obviously. Rent increase? Never, they’ll be paying the same in 20 years time.

We got the mortgage over 15 years about four years ago. So in eleven years time I'll be 61 and it'll be a nice little lump sum in the hip for fuck all. 

Apart from the chew from my mother.

No way will it be..... 

Serious questions here..... 

How long back were you 25? Late 80s, early 90s or previously?

Studied until 25 or at home saving a deposit? If a degree - still free then or loaded with debt? 

You ARE aware that wages against cost of living are a fucking catastrophe in recent years - rentals mentioned elsewhere being a prime example.

I'm hoping your kids are walking into Trader or Nasa spec positions and can just walk into an affordable life. There are working couples still not able to do that FFS - including medical professionals etc.... - they are all parasites too? Or just too dumb to get it right? 

My son is 12 and I've explained to him the massive disparity between previous generations pay and cost of housing etc... - his fault as he did ask when we complained about prices both here and in Brussels. 

Again... Seriously intrigued as to your viewpoint.

Well you said she'd be dieing in it..... 1 more demand and it just might be sooner than anyone thought.

Bearded fucking explorer on YouTube.

Been tramping around a house near here acting like it's abandoned despite the lawn being mown and signs of life inside.  Those signs being GFs mates dad who was inside and terrified.  It was 6 months ago but they've only just found out about the video.

Edit, if you follow the link could you like the comment from 'Emily Unknown'.  We'd prefer the top comment was from someone (my girlfriend) calling him out rather than someone speculating how much the Land Rover is worth.

Thanks to Dave Hedgehog.
