AndyM3000 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 His idea of stress is probably most peoples idea of a good time. Money might not buy everyone happiness but it could buy me it. He can swap with me all day long, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I can see what he's trying to say, he's just worded it wrong. Life was less stressful for me before I had a mortgage, wife and kids to support. However, you lve within your means. If I increased my salary, I'd spend more on things I don't exactly need, if I had to take a cut then I'd spend less on the things I don't need. However in his position with working hours etc I don't think doing charity events takes up too much of his own time. I'm sure he's home before the average worker! I can't see him being too bothered when the bills come in every month nd sitting there working out how he's going to pay for them. Now that's stress!

mjmooney Posted December 18, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2012 I repeat. Why the hell does he need a mortgage? A few months savings would buy a house outright. Even if did have one, he could pay it all off in a year, tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Like most people, he probably wants whats just out of reach. His take home pay is probably about £1m a year but he might want a £3m pad. Another world I know but its thw world he lives in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a mortgage at under 3% if you're a decent borrower, which footballers probably will be. If you can get a return of over 3% on investing your money, you'd be foolish to not take the mortgage as it'd actually cost you money to buy outright.
