Right. Thanks for that.

So have any of your network done the BOMAD thing?

Yep.

They were middle class/wealthy.

Others include those who whose parents had failed businesses so were bankrupt, or simply had no money so did it themselves. There are also those with early parental deaths in my circle so had money they wouldn't have had but also no family home, and those who used RTB.

The people who have ended up completely screwed are the ones who did an arts or social sciences degree without middle class/wealthly parents but didn't go into some form of sales.

Fwk me. Are you an orphan or summat? Should be over it by your age, whatever it is.

No I'm not an orphan.

Really? Your posts indicate a moronic cretin who did not pay attention at school.

The kids at my school got rapped over the knuckles when they did not listen. Were you like that?

You know f00k all about statistics and reality.

Yes wish I was as clever, successful and bright as you

He doesn't insult people with every post, which is greatly more advanced than your silly little jibes.

And modest...

Hmmm well actually virtually everyone I know has had parents help.

Buying a house whilst their kids are at uni, the spare rooms rented out, and the deeds handed over on graduation.

£20, £40, £80k gifted deposits for house purchases.

BOMAD is rampant.

And I guess that all these altruistic parents are from the tightwad Boomer generation that you are forever castigating?

[WTFH]

So have any of your network done the BOMAD thing?

I have.

When I was young my parents used to give me pocket money each week - initially 10p or 15p and by the time I was into double figures it had risen to £1.

If I was naughty, I didn't get any.

Yes, I think it is the guilt.

Read this thread again - I called you whiny which is accurate, BP came out with off-topic insults.

On this thread you have been quite restrained.
