migrants - the missing millions

[Old Greg]

Why would someone boast about how hard they worked for their money? The real trick is not having to work hard for it.

Because some people value hard work.

I value hard work as long it is not me doing it

migrants - the missing millions

I'm only slightly older than you. Early 40s

You caught the property wave pre 2000.

You're a boomer.

I graduated 2000 straight into full time employment. The folk I worked with - your age - all had houses - and had bought them for fook all. Then the prices went ape tulip.

The missing million: Are we undercounting Britain's immigrants?*

I know people younger than you that have done well on the housing market through their own efforts.
So where did it all go wrong for you?

Ps the word Boomer is applied to people who were born post war not in the 70s. ffs at least use the term properly, or does it mean anyone who is more successful than you?

In engineering it takes a few years of hard graft to gain credibility.

The folk my age or younger that I know who have done well with property all had BOMAD help. Lashings of it.

Boom & bust, boomer. Seems to fit.

You see that flat bit of the curve in the 90's?

I filled me boots with property during that time.

HTH BIDI

I see. Its all someone else's fault.
you'll be whinging on your death bed ... I feel sorry for you. Rather than get on and change things all you can do is whinge. Good luck with that.

I know you did, as did many on this forum. I missed the wave, but like my Murphy's, I'm not bitter.

No that's why you post about it ad nauseum
BItter is your middle name, it's what defines you.
You seriously need to get some self knowledge only then will you be able to move on
