Oh yeah, because rent prices won’t go up, I’m sure…..

Difference is, it’s not really the same kind of commitment. Once you come to the end of the contract you can get out of there. With a house you’ve paid a massive upfront deposit which you now stand to lose – home repossession is a nasty business!

I hope it works out for you, Paul.

For years people have been moaning about banks having too high a threshold for mortgages and saying if someone can pay higher rent, then why can’t they pay a lower mortgage.

Well, I think this is the wake-up call. When interest rates go up it’s a different ball-game. Suddenly renting don’t seem so bad anymore.

Thanks John! Don’t spend too much, Andre.

I’m also supposed to go on holiday to Turkey for two weeks from the 25th of August all inclusive. I want to postpone it and I’ve tried to get hold of the holiday company for the last six weeks – tried email, live chat, phone and no one answers. I went to my credit card company because I had heard rumours that if you don’t get the same holiday that you’ve booked, no buffets etc. then you can get a refund. They said they couldn’t refund unless the holiday was cancelled. What can I do? Anyone any ideas?
