But I get incandescent over housing, especially when I'm told it's nothing to do with circumstances and all down to my failure.
I've actually given up on getting a bigger house, and putting the funds into my kids future. Hopefully they will get a head start.

You want the big house, get rich quick, or borrow the money now and pay it off over 40+ years.
Or vote Corbyn and everyone gets a big detached house AND a free unicorn in the colour of their choosing.Last edited by DimPrawn; 13 January 2017, 17:22.

Everyone moves down the ladder. Cleverer people than you will do the job you once did.
Your income will shrink even as prices rise (as they are already doing).
The really brainy people will move abroad following the multinationals, the UK will become a quiet backwater*
Your children will have fewer opporunities and wont be able to move to EUrope for work as many Northeners did in the hard times of the 80s. Remember Auf Wiedersehen Pet?
*There'll still be pockets of excellence but only for the well educated.Last edited by sasguru; 13 January 2017, 17:24.
