Midlife Crisis
I've hit my forties, and my midlife crisis has manifested itself in old band T-shirts and a desire to go on camper van holidays. How has it hit you, or - if you are still a youngling - your elders?

My 40th is all sorted.
Buy-in arranged for the WSOP Main Event, with five hopeful nights booked at the Wynn just in case I progress that far.
Hopefully semi-retirement fund will kick in by my 42nd birthday and then we're off on world tour - in style. No more dossing in hostels with moronic Australians and druggie chavs, nope 5* all the way. Enough airmiles now for 1st Class at every stage too.
Then I'll chuck in the Range Rover for a sporty little number, sell up the rest of the portfolio and bugger off to Provence, Mougins possibly, the restaurants are to die for. I'll play the markets from home, fish, paint and hike the lower Alps.
Crisis? What crisis?

It's probably Shambo who apparently is some kind of leet haxX0r

Most of us log out and then back in again - takes a couple of seconds on a home computer (saved passwords and what not)
Shambo seems to have acquired some l33t hax0r php mage level skillz that allow him to see all ignore2.0 posts.
Apparently.
Because he's so much better than us and has far more important things to be doing with his time.
Hooray!

Oh him.
He got very, very angry because I revealed his 'ever so intelligent and thought provoking post', had in fact been doing the rounds for over 50 years.

I think the fact he couldn't even remember how many houses he was selling or for how much might have given even the financially naive a clue.

I don't think he knows about how capacity for loss is an inherent part of a fact find and recommendation.
And that having multiple IO mortgages might possibly be something that a professional adviser might flag up as being a concern. That is of course if he used a broker, an adviser or dealt direct, or if he got these as BTL rather than residential. Or the point at which he did so, bearing in mind the stringent LTV limits on IO mortgages.
But what do I know?

it's perfectly normal for lenders to offer IO mortgages to amateur property speculators.

We're building a house in France at the moment.
So if you could just give me some advice on allowable expenses under the régime réel or micro-foncier regimes that would be smashing. I'll pay you in entirely valueless online prestige.

Yup.
Those people are fucked.
But with low LTV's - I'm gonna be ok.
You can moan. You can spend years gaining a PhD but still not grasp percentages. You can think it's 'not cool' to buy property and rent for the rest of your lives.
Or you can do it my way.
Enjoy your crises.
