OP, how can you possibly agree with people having to get rid of a pet because their mortgage provider wants the money the owner spends on the pet? You do realise that most dogs/cats surrendered to pounds are destroyed after a week don't you?

I doesn't have to be given to a pound necessarily people can find a good home in a variety of ways. Wasn't advocating having the animal destroyed.
On mortgage point people should take personal responsibility for their debts no one forced them to take on a mortgage

In all fairness if you did do plenty of things other than minding what other people do with their money, it probably would mean that you wouldn't have the time to spend thinking about other people's business. And certainly not enough time to go to the trouble of starting a thread about it.

If u done anything at all you wouldn't have the time to worry about what I'm worried about and post replies would you

Worse still...I'll wager they are all going to take several baths per day EACH,from January !

You better find some other aspect of your life to surrender so that you'll be able to pay for those as well....:(

They are paying their mortgage, albeit only the interest portion. Have they told you, in the indepth discussions you appear to have with them about their personnel affairs, that they have no intention of ever paying off the capital ? The bank are taking interest only on this mortgage, so I assume they have no problem with the arrangement. Why do you have more of an issue with it than the lender ?

Don't hate the player, hate the system.

I've seen many examples of stupidity. It's all too common in Ireland. It still baffles me how when people are piss poor/on the dole, yet they still decide to go out every night.

4 living in a house. Only one works. Logic would dictate that the rest are on the dole. If they are using said dole to pay for cars and luxury items like Sky and cars as opposed to paying off their debts then that would make them dole scroungers.

I think that James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA with Michael Crick, said a few years ago that certain genes 'carried' stupidity and could be identified and modified. So there may actually be a cure (more of a prevention really) for stupidity.

Once, someone asked me how I thought her neighbour could afford a nice new leather jacket.

This thread reminds me of that.

OP, live your life, let everyone else get on with theirs.

But,but,....Candie...that's far easier when you're not having to PAY so much to fund "everyone else's" lifestyle,particularly when their version of it far exceeds yours in terms of excess

I do as you can see have account here few years very few posts. Just boils my blood the sense of entitlement
Surely shelter is a no.1 priority
And saving to pay off the principal instead of possibly losing the house.

Touched a nerve have I?? I thought this was a forum for expressing an opinion I have done that and if you don't like it not my problem. They volunteered info . I did not go seeking it. And I made my opinion clear to them. Who are you to be telling anyone to shut up

I'm expressing my opinion, amn't I? If anyone is touchy it's you. Mind your business. Curtain twitcher.

Please don't say you genuinely believe the op?
4 people all with cars?
Loads of sky packages?
Paying interest mortgage?
And only one person working pt?
I reckon this family live next door to the African woman who keeps fecking away her buggies at each bus stop as she can't be bothered to fold them.
