What Have You Bought?

Recommended Posts

So that fund could essentially serve as a deposit?

 

You are saving really then, the way you were saying it before with regards to going into your overdraft every month made it sound like you weren't.

Yeah, the main benefit of a mortgage to me is that when I am 55 it will be all paid off, and as I get to closer to that age the mortgage will stay the same (whereas rent tends to increase over time) while my salary increases. So yeah, I want to retire at 55, and the mortgage is a part of that plan.

We were all about renting before we "settled" though. Now we're committed to an area (nice job, kids in school, etc) so it makes sense to mortgage. I bought in an era where it was easier to mortgage. Nowadays you can get 95% mortgages but on a 150k house that still means saving up 7.5k - that's not easy, and you need to pay solicitors, etc. too!

 

I grew up in a 3-bed semi and my dad was only source of income and he was a bus driver. You just won't get that anymore. House prices are too mental now.

Story wise, it's your usual feel good kids film. It's not terrible, but it's not great either. Visually, it's amazing. Probably one of my favourite films to look at. I don't think any other live action (with heavy use of CGI) film has captured the look of a cartoon as well as Speed Racer.

Namco Bandai (or maybe NoE since they published it) does not like to be outdone by Capcom:

Trouble is they cut Episode 2 out, but it sounds like they are releasing it separately judging by the fact it said you can transfer data. Some of the text is a bit small as well :sad:

It's so good! :bouncy:

Went for the 13" as with student discount it was within my budget, and the 11" doesn't have a SD card slot, which I need. I have had a netbook for the last few years which was around 11" and I wanted something a bit bigger too. My dad will now be having my netbook, no need for that now!

Easyjet were unfortunately the cheapest, the flights actually cost more than the hotel.
