I have always bought duff houses and done them up. *Our first house
cost 400 in 1970. *My last house cost 10,000 in solicitor and estate
agent's fees alone (and that was a downsize). *Got out just in time I
think.
The plan is to upsize when houses are cheap and downsize when they are
expensive. So the last move was a downsize. The problem is where to
invest the difference these day as someone else was saying.
There is a plot to encourage people to take their money and invest it
in the stockmarket HehHeh. *The ******* bankers are trying to wring
the last drop of money from us. I won't be falling for that one.
They have stolen our past, present and future now they want more.

My secret is - find a house with the land you want and stay there. *Grade up
gradually but stop in your forties.
My house is now paid for.

I have never borrowed money for any purpose as I don't want parasites
living off my back.

I had around fifty acres of land and a five bedroom house, mostly
forest but as you get older it becomes impossible to look after it.
Down now to two bedrooms and one and a half acres. And a thousand feet
lower altitude.

Premium bonds. I might think about that. They don't seem to be
pushing them these days do they?
