Who here is enjoying the doom a little too much?

As an owner of bank shares and a house bought in 2007 I shouldn't be enjoying it BUT I am.

Yes to the month I think, super work

Me too, however taking comfort in the knowledge I sold previous house at the peak too.

Unlucky. I jumped in 2 years prior to that but nearly bought another in 2007.

I owned three at the time of the peak and got shut of two after a bit of a struggle so I feel I've got away with it.

However I was quite close to renting and having none which was always the master plan. I cracked under nagging Mrs and new baby strain PLUS I knew you can never lose with bricks and mortar

I would of enjoyed haggling with a distressed 10 bob millionaire to buy his palace for peanuts

Nobody can really take too much pleasure in it, because if it all goes belly up, having some savings or an expensive house won't feed you or stop the breakdown of society. Nobody except those strange people with bunkers full of tinned foods and guns can really feel remotely secure.

But luckily things are bad, but we're only taking about the margins, we're not talking starvation and total collapse, just a deflation of posited wealth. Unfortunately we have a scaremonger culture (since 9/11) and the papers love this stuff.
