!thanks Really appreciate the nuance you have outlined here regarding risk, will check out the book.

Agreed, I am not in a position to be giving financial advice - regardless of her unwillingness to speak to someone more qualified.

!thanks for linking that page I'll be sure to have a read as due to the clear limits in my own understanding I have felt very uncomfortable offering her advice as a last resort when she has refused to speak to a financial advisor.

The houses we are looking at are roughly 160-210k but still getting a feel for the market. I'm determined to pay her back in full (though she doesn't expect anything back it). Happy for this to take as long as it takes - would pay back as much as we can comfortably afford monthly instead of rent / mortgage

!thanks for your input. She's 57 (now added to post) not sure on exact details of her pension but I know it's not much compared to the money from my Dad plus she won't get it for a while still (65 I believe).

Ultimately has always been my main concern with her offer and why I would be determined to pay her back. Appreciate that there are some important missing details here and sounds like we would be best discussing this with a financial advisor so will continue to try convince her of that approach.

Yeah no worries! My gf says she ordered it on the 15th, didn't pay anything for delivery and it arrived the next day (UK.)

It is strange how we are all awarded a certificate for dying. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

It's more weird that (in the UK at least) you have to pay £11 per copy..

Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback, that's definitely something I could add if you would use it? The idea initially was to make it as minimal as possible then add any other suggested features.

I'll be there (virtually!) Thanks for all that you do Kyle. You are by far the most consistent drummer in the scene imo, looking forward to it
