    How to get the Boomers out of their homes

    The most heart-breaking mis-selling scandal of all: It's costing Richard and Rita Kauffman their home even though they're NOT behind on their mortgage | Daily Mail Online

    Tempt them with even greater riches!

    Are you saying borrowing against your home and investing in the stock market isn't a guaranteed path to riches?

    Well I'm shocked.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        1. Eliminate stamp duty so they can downsize and the young can move in tax free.

        2. Consider instituting land tax to encourage efficient use of land.

          Go back to the old system of having many people living in the same house. These clustered groups were known as "families", but were banned by Labour.

            So the bobs are the future then
            Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

            No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              Yep, but not future, it's now.

                Typical wail story. NTRT have suffered worse. And there are 2000 of us. When will the wail pick up our cause?

                  I'm liking the idea of sheds with beds.

                  The Wife™ has told me that I'm allowed a new shed.
                  I've got my eye on a nice wingback chair, am thinking about getting an e-Pipe (I don't smoke tobacco) and one of these: 4L Copper Pot Still
                  Having a bed in there would be a great addition.

                  …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                    Typical click bait piece from DM.

                    So they took an interest-only loan, remortgaged to take more money, invested in crap that not even MBAs can understand and claim mis-selling for their greed and stupidity!
