    Not enough that he is typically not here for my entire work day. The first thing I did today was get up and see my name being kicked in the dirt, and responded.

    Yeah, that was kind of messed up. Some people don't take other people's success very well. :rolleyes: What was the thing you created and cashed in on?

                                    I think back on the house I built, and I would say there were many years of labor put into it, some skilled, some not, and tens of thousands of dollars worth of materials, from lumber to shingles to bricks. If you earn 20k/year, which of those should not be paid for? Who should go hungry so you can have a house? The carpenter, the mason, the guy who makes bricks, or the guy who used to own the land? I don't think ANYONE should be excluded from owning a home, by anything other than their capability to pay for it.

                                      OK, maybe I over reacted. But when you railed against governmnet policy to lower house prices you hit a pet cause of mine. I really think it is a good idea to limit the amount of house debt someone can take on. That way they have more cash for consumables, and that will help fatory gate figures globally. Take france. The most you can be in debt is 33% of your net. ie, if you gross 3k you can pay 1k a month max on servicing loans. Get HP on a car, and you can only borrow less for a house. In the UK people are paying 50% of their gross just on servicing their mortgage! And for what? Its not like that wealth stored up in the house is usable untill you die, or are near to it. Why not have the extra cash all your life? I am heavilly in favour of the govt taking housing out of the easy borrow easy spend circuit. While easy credit is good for the economy, locking so much cash up in houses isnt. Oh, and I apologise for overreacting. I hadnt been drinking by the way, that was a plain old hot blodded overreaction.

                                        OK, maybe I over reacted. But when you railed against governmnet policy to lower house prices you hit a pet cause of mine. I really think it is a good idea to limit the amount of house debt someone can take on. That way they have more cash for consumables, and that will help fatory gate figures globally. Take france.

                                        Fair enough. Like I said below, it seems to me now that what I meant to say, and what you saw, differed because of our differing experience. I agree that deregulation of banks has been a bad thing for everyone but banks and that people should not be able to borrow outside their means.

                                          are two entirely different things. I think the government has no business attempting to manipulate the market to "lower house prices", but I agree that there should be limits on the amount someone can borrow (as there was when I bought my first and second houses). The hoops that needed to be jumped through were many and varied...
