TightwadsThere's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

*High fives*Same situation- even bought a smaller flat than I really wanted (went down to what I needed) to make sure it was affordable.
Decent financial planning- boo ya!
Saying that, it doesn't really matter does it? I mean if they can still afford their monthly repayments and aren't planning to sell any time soon then it makes absolutely bugger all difference.

That's what I'm relying onJust recently bought a house with a 90% mortgage, but paying monthly no more than I was paying on rent and savings before. We intentionally bought a slightly bigger house than we need so that we can take on a lodger for now, and won't need to move should we decide to grow small people.
I'm not planning on moving (at all, if possible), so I'm not too fazed about the prices going down.
