Its crazy isnt it? Specially properties in London, its just too much. They also buy property and renovate it which cost them more money. Unbelievable how on earth they can spend that amount of cash on a property.

I have been watching homes under the hammer and location3x. :icon_lol::biggrin:

You just need to have bought a property 30+ years ago in the right area and have managed to hang on to it....then sit back and wallow in your smugness. :smile:

[Steve.r]

Not smug here :bigcry:

[grahamw48]

Me neither !

If I'd kept the first one it would now be worth 350 grand, paid for 20 years ago, and I would have been retired and sitting on a beach in the Phils with a cold San Mig. :cwm3:

There's a point when it all becomes greed. Many people with these properties can never find the time to enjoy them.

I personally am doing my best to avoid ever having a mortgage, even if it means a smaller house.

[grahamw48]

I agree Ricky.
Quality of life has to be a major consideration.

With the amount of financial planning I personally have put in place, the generous govt. pension and the thoughtful contribution of the ex-wife, I think I can be confident of always having some sort of roof over my head in the future. :smile:
