Negative Equity etc

Took out too large a loan ? Cant afford to pay for what you have ?

Its your own bloody fault


quit blaming the government, you voted for them didnt ya. You should not get involved in things you dont understand ie Economics

I'm totally fed up of people complaining and its their own fault for being ignorant and greedy in the first place.

Ah the smugness of the employed mortgage paying slave. Wait until you get to my situation mate and you won't be so smug. Banks broke their own guidelines tripping over themselves to give out mortgages, fuelling price rises. Government, following the pd free market plan took regulation away so banks got into trouble by over lending. Now anyone paying tax is paying money to pay off billions of euros to banks that have been bailed out. All that tax money is going out of the economy and not helping anyone. Funny to think if the government, of either hue, had given every citizen one million euro it would have cost less and boy would the tax take, housing market, car market etc be in great shape.

I know your comments are slightly tongue in cheek, but to those of us at the wrong end of the recession the humour tends to leave you easily.

I have to say I do feel guilty to an extent, I've had 1 or 2 that came to me asking for a favour, would I sign a pay cert for more than what they actually earned, I did and one of them is now in serious dificulty and I let the other go, I know he's still unemployed.

Have done the same thing myself - included ot in earnings - at the time thought I was doing the guy a favour but just heard that he has lost his job - bummer.
