TehShadower, you say you are saving $450 a week? In todays market, why not just keep saving money? I think you would be better off in the long run.

If you are having to use a credit card to get by, I reckon you are too close to the edge, but maybe I am a bit conservative compared to others here. Some good ideas in this thread and you said something about early next year making things easier, but how will you cope if interest rates rise...

I would actually keep renting and saving money while you can. I don't know anyone who things prices will rocket away in the short term future, so your buying power can increase with your savings. The more you save and wait while prices stay down, the less you will have to borrow when you do...

Surely I don't have to repeat the same old bear points of view do I as to why its a 'short term blip'. . . Thought you would have heard them done to death. . . :)

Short term blip. . . things will get worse again before too long.

The original post reads like a hypothetical situation. If its true, then :eek:

I think there is some good advice here, but suprised by a lot of 'go for it' type comments, especially when your company seems a bit shaky still. Also, you have a personal debt and you are approved at about $50,000 below what you want to spend. Really, experts / economists say the economy is...

Yes, good points. I agree. A good question which is important to ask is: Where to do people see unemployment and interest rates going? (CBA and Bankwest rates up already)

A lot of people talk as though the economy was hit hard and its over now. . . Why should D&Gers keep backing up their reasons for their belief? Many will not listen because they don't really agree. D&Gers aren't in their caves because they were wrong about a storm they thought was coming and...

Twice for very basic clocks :) Many seem to brand the D & G ers with a very broad range of ideas about what they are like. This view is not a lifestyle that dictates a persons entire life, but simply a view on how they see things panning out in the economy in the coming years. I must admit...

Bacon . . . . :confused: Might be smelling beef in the near future as some bulls get slaughtered.

Patience asdlellel. . . . . If you think prices today are ridiculously low, then I suggest you may never have viewed any statistics about property pre 2003. They are still way over priced IMHO. Very little value out there. Well, if you only look at prices since 2003, then there appears to be...

So those of us who expect bad things to come in the economy are D & G ers. Ok, if that term satisfy's you, then ok. Anyway, should people like me who expect worse things to come, I will not be here to say, 'I told you so', but to read (and maybe) discuss these various issues on forums like...

One day someone releases stats saying house prices are falling. Another day someone releases house stats that say they are rising. Then on the same day, they are falling again according to another organisation :confused: With the variety of stats coming out, I don't take any of them too...

Yes, some bears have turned, so have some bulls also. Patience . . . not a huge issue of being patient, though I would like to see falls and quick (just being honest). I don't want to see people suffer, but if it happens, then there will be some hurt for people. If people have the conviction...
