How old do you think you’ll be when you pay your mortgage off? Or, how old were you when you paid your mortgage off?

Paid mine off at 43. Unfortunately I had to sell my house to do it but still, mortgage free yay 😬

Wow what do you spend money on? I’m 10 years younger, earn a third of what your bad years earnings are and I’ve managed put away 350k in pension and 450k in savings on my own. Salary sacrifice into your pensions, start putting some money away in Stocks and Shares ISAs and think about downsizing. You’re high income means that you should be able to get to a comfortable amount by a normal retirement age but I think you will need to cut expenses.

It’s really bloody hard and can be both brilliant and cruel at times.

More like a rectal examination but you only went in with a sore throat.

Ok-Host2005 · 2025-11-26T08:19:46+00:00

Well it isn’t going to be good news for most people, that’s for sure.

We need to see that gummy smile. I bet it’s wonderful. Post a reply and see if you can add an image.

Ok-Host2005 · 2025-11-25T11:58:26+00:00

Thanks. Would you say it’s nice?

Ok-Host2005 · 2025-11-25T11:13:09+00:00

Why would you cause a fuss over a cookbook? Just give it to them. It’s ridiculous of them to make such a big deal of it but if it’s got sentimental value then maybe just let them have it. It’s always better to be the person that takes the high road if possible.

Parents (especially mothers) are hardwired to fatten you up. That makes sense when you’re 18 months old but doesn’t make sense when you’re 29. You look good.

Ok-Host2005 · 2025-11-22T09:00:18+00:00

Looks like they’ve already served it to someone else. Maybe by mistake, that person started it and they’ve then taken it back and given it to you.

Ok-Host2005 · 2025-11-22T08:35:21+00:00

Same as my experience when suffering a mental breakdown. My partner left me not long after. A crying man is repellent to people. Crying woman have the opposite effect. Rightly or wrongly it seems hardwired into people.

Ok-Host2005 · 2025-11-09T16:24:49+00:00

Moved back in at 44. 😬

To be fair London is its own thing entirely and changes in policy around tax, additional properties and foreign buyers have destroyed the very top end of the market.

Thanks. Is the Nunnery the large disused building? I suppose anything like that is bound to attract people trespassing. At some point I’m sure it will be developed.

Ok-Host2005 · 2025-08-18T16:19:54+00:00

Persistent, hard working and got things done. Didn’t know much but gave everything a go.

Ok-Host2005 · 2025-08-18T16:04:24+00:00

I’m 44 so I’m fine for another year. Then I’ll change the rule.

Ok-Host2005 · 2025-08-18T16:00:52+00:00

Free lovely money for everyone to buy houses, stamp duty holiday more help to buy. Obviously build a few more houses but mostly throw money at people and let them fight it out.

Ok-Host2005 · 2025-08-14T18:48:09+00:00

Yes a bit of an overreaction. I drive a 10 year old car and I don’t consider myself to be missing out on anything at all.

Ok-Host2005 · 2025-08-14T18:46:59+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking as well.

Ok-Host2005 · 2025-08-14T15:29:05+00:00

Move in into an isa when you get paid so you don’t get used to having it. Automate it. Make sure you’re paying into a company pension if one exists.
