The Cost Of Living

[Samdy Gray]

Don't listen to 'em Ralphy. I know they're not exactly picking on you really, but just ignore it.

The amount of smarmy gits that quaff because I can only afford a 5% deposit on my house is unbelievable, just fuck the cunts and do what you want.

I'm not spitting my dummy out Martin, just pisses me off how you pick holes in everything about me.

Yes i get 60% of any profit.

example???

example???

I hate postman, they're probably all immigrants! Postman Pat, Postman Patel more like

      I hate Honda Civics! They're Japanese, that means they're foreign! I hate foreigners! Coming over here and not being British!

      I hate Chipping Norton! It's probably full of immigrants!

I'm sure ralphy knows what he's doing.

Sometimes renting can be good. For instance my uncle is a loner and so doesn't really need his own property (no-body to pass it on to etc). He managed to find himself a one bed flat 10 minute walk from work that suits him fine and the rent is cheaper than a mortgage would be. He sticks the money he saves in the bank and doesn't need to worry about about the house market crashing (if it ever does). A rare example, but an example none the less.

Renting is ace...honest

i'm dreading the expense of living indipendently when i graduate, especially as i intend to move to London.

Your degree isn't in English, is it?

nah, but i'm shit hot at english too. grammar watch?

Dont move to london, its too expensive if you havent got a serious deposit to buy a place!

Renting is like throwing your money down a drain that you also like to piss in sometimes!

look for a place to buy outside of London - my suggestions would be Uxbridge or High Wycombe if your not loaded, maybe try Ruislip but I dont know it very well myself.

Some areas of ascot near Windsor are also becoming available at good prices if you want to find a nice flat....

Anyway there's me trying to be helpful - enough of that!

No way can I even consider buying with student debts to pay off and absolutely no capital. i've got to live in london, there's so much going on. anywhere within a 30ish min tube ride of zone 1 would be alright.

Renting is a bit crappy but all i'll be able to afford for a few years probably, i'm used to crappy student houses though so could cope with a run down place quite easily. As long as it has heating and a bed i'll be alright. The upsides of renting work in my favour though, no bills for repairs and i can leave whenever i want (contract permitting, of course).

It's all a bit scary to think about though.
