Mandy Lifeboats Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The Internet must have drastically reduced the sales of jazzmags. Instead of buying porn from the newsagent you can now log on the Internet, look up the address of the nurses accommodation and buy binoculars on Amazon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Just ‘Sold’ ours again for the 2nd time in 12 months, but can’t find an upgrade that works for us and it’s proper slim pickings. I absolutely hate the whole thing. Dealing with agents, having to speak to other people, going round looking at houses - it’s all proper shite.

Xela Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Where you moving to @rjw63? I thought you were a few years off rural Wales yet? Edited January 16, 2021 by Xela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Reading the last few pages and nodding at all the comments about the hassle of moving and the whole ponzi nature of ever increasing house prices, it makes me feel like just getting out of the whole game. In 2020, in a lockdown, house prices went up more than normal. Madness. I must admit the thought of selling up, paying the mortgage off and then buying a narrowboat to live on does appeal to me more and more. Must have watched a hundred hours of narrowboating blogs over the last year or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as the mother in law refuses to shuffle off the mortal coil at 88, we will be reasonably local. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have watched a hundred hours of narrowboating blogs over the last year or so. I don’t even really want to move tbh. I know we have to really, but I am 40 and looking at taking a new mortgage that’s going to end up being roughly 3x what I pay now, over the next 25 years. We’ve only been ‘ok’ for money in the past 3/4 years and now my disposable income is about to get wiped out again.

I'm 41 and the thought of taking on additional debt at this age doesn't appeal to me at all. I've got more of an eye to winding down and retirement now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
