They've always made a point to let me fend for myself and like I've said, apart from getting decent gifts for Holiday events or Birthdays, I never got handed money. I had to buy my own car (You think I would have a fucking Corsa if my parents were handing me money on a plate?). I took out a student loan for University (if I was leeching I could have just gotten my parents to pay for it, not that they would agree to that anyway). It's not my fault you had to worry about landlords. It was your choice to move out. I made the choice to go to a local University and live at home because I didn't want to be in debt for ages. I made the choice to live at home for as long as I can so I can save up a decent amount of money to then use to put a deposit on a house aka an investment (instead of retardedly renting a property/room which is basically pissing cash away). These are decisions I made for myself with money and my future in mind.
I haven't fucking rubbed it in at all. And of course I'm gonna make comments about Theo's degree or career prospects after he's basically hurling disgusting abuse at me first. I don't think you'll find a SINGLE example on this forum where I was the first person to dish out personal abuse. My "abuse" are always retorts. What am I supposed to do? Just sit and take it? Fuck that.
There you go, dickhead.
Everyone gets a student loan, the repayment terms are so favourable that only the financially illiterate would pay upfront. It's not your fault you don't have to worry about landlords and other people do, as I said, it's a good thing for you, but that and other problems are issues that most people do have to worry about which you don't. You have a colossal safety net - more like a safety trampoline - that is built on the free tenancy handed to you by your parents and that gives you a lot of opportunity (do you think a normal person could decide he's not going to work for a year?) which itself is added to by your dad handing you the keys to your own business. It's an area where you've been very lucky, you did seem to recognise that a couple of weeks ago, but now you are using your trampoline as a stick to beat people with, it's vile, provocation or no.
It is truly astonishing for you to say that renting a property or room is retarded, it shows how detached you are from the world that most people live in. How many people do you seriously think do it out of choice?
That image.
I'm not using it as a stick to beat people with, actually. People are using it as a stick to beat me with.
I still think renting is retarded, but I'll be honest. The plan was always going to be to rent my own place as soon as I got a job, but my girlfriend at the time was an Estate Agent and she convinced me not to with several compelling reasons. (She had her own fucking house at 21 years old and knew what she was talking about).
The world most people live in? Pretty sure the majority of people on this forum could have chosen to stay at home, if they so wished. Most of my friends either still live at home or own a property (albeit some of them shared ownership). And no, I don't only have rich friends.
What's wrong with the image? It shows that I pay out £50 to my Mother on a weekly basis.
