Interest rates

Well Frank - trained by the taxpayer, paid by the taxpayer - maybe if you are in that category and don't have a mortgage, you should earn less money and your well off father-in-law should pay you the difference. Funny what is funded by the tax payer isn't it? (Don't believe a word about the dog treats or even the thank you cards)

There is absolutely no "acheivement" in being handed a large sum of money, purchasing a house and therefore being mortgage free. IMHO.

Frank Smug????? Surely not

janthea I think it is off the scale altogether.

I wonder if Frank is a fantacist. His last post seems unreal. Or even surreal!

Might be a case of remember the teeth and forget the face eh ! Frank ? I do think it is an achievement for your daughters to own their homes outright but I think you are very smug and self rightious about the fact,maybe they will be able to fund your care fee's when you need them paying saving the hard pressed rest of the community paying them,but you will no doubt come up with a plausable reason as to why not.

They are not wealthy dentists and they are employed by the NHS.
They do not work in a dental practice.
They work in a hospital and I don't think the hospital takes money from patients.
They do get thank you cards and one patient sent some treats for the dog.
Unfortunately these cards sometimes arrive a few days after the treatment has been carried out and they can not put a face to the sender.

The main issue about the interest rate is whether it will achieve its economic objectives - my personal view is that economics is all smoke and mirrors

Frank - do these wealthy dentist husbands do any NHS dentistry?

On balance I think I am pleased about the interest rates it will certainly help two of my daughters.

Well I for one am pleased that the interest rates have stayed at 0.5% as I still have a mortgage to pay (sadly no London pension, or any other for that matter) . My children both have mortgages too as sadly no rich relatives in our family.

Tegan where our children don't need mortgages, where we have £3000 each tax year to give to them and where we don't rely on interest on savings to live on.

brenda I agree with bluebell you can do a lot better than 0.5%.
Our current account with Santander pays up to 3% with cash back on utility bills paid by direct debit too.
And no I still haven't worked out what the catch is ........

Where's that ann?

And for those of who live in the real world..........

Actually you can gift as much as you like if you do not die in the next 7years.

Year? Where did the poet come from?

Also you can give (I believe) in the region of £2000 away every Yeats to your children.

I don't think I should give my daughter's ages out as they are women.
I think the estate agents found it hard to believe they did not need a mortgage.

Frank

Yes yes yes yes yes...

They have wealthy husbands (dentists) and a VERT RICH father with a LONDON PENSION

Smug smug smug smug smug
