I'm just wondering, given that house prices have rsien astronomically, particularly in London,
it is very likely that Monty bought his place when it was worth a fraction of what he'll get for it. But when we bought ours we were forced to a lot more. We probably could have borrowed enough to buy it on our own, but my parents offered to help us out, which was nice, so our mortgage payments are a bit lower.

We're still free from crippling debt though.

Shame you aren't free from crippling baldness as well, eh.

well maybe if you'd bought earlier, you'd have been ok too
you chose to wait until buying, them's the breaks.

I really wish you were definitely joking about this.

i used my student loan as a deposit to buy a flat when i was 18
that's how i paid for my law degree and supported myself in london for 2 years whilst studying. ok i wouldn't be living where i do now without my dad, but if he hadn't bought that flat, as a direct consequence of the law degree, i'd still be able to afford somewhere nice, without help.
