Old? OLD???
I still pass myself off as twenty nine with good lighting.
I'd be chuffed as well if l still had a mortgage as well, but when my savings have got to last me the rest of my life, because I can't work, it peeves me.
I don't really understand why the interest rates have been lowered?
True the housing market has slowed down, but if this helps to push house prices even higher, it will make it even harder for first time buyers to get a foot on the ladder, as wages certainly haven't increased at the same rate.
Also at a time when people have never had so much personal debt, the lowering of interest rates won't exactly encourage people to save, but more likely hit the stores credit card in hand.
