            Have you tried switching it off and back on again??

                I've got some magic beans if you're interested....

                Seriously though, given the game we're all in financing a depreciating asset is crazy. You never know when bench time is going to ruin your well laid plans.

                Buy what you can afford. Spending more than you earn is how Greece ended up in such an awesome position......

                  Makes little difference as it tends to track gold over the medium term at least.

                    I see. Paid off your mortgage yet? War chest full? BTL portfolio stacked? Ready of Komrade Korbyn in a few years time?

                      Ditto this advice, minus the BTL (personal choice).
