    Interest rates on the way down

    yet another news article, however I note a positive 1 !! Looks like good news for us investors. I make the bold prediction (which might come back and bite me) - maybe 1 more rate rise, then rates will start heading down. Prices will remain constant for some time, ( no crash), however on the...

    Might be a touchy subject, however should they get more benefits if they own their own home? How can a person work all their life and end up with nothing? Should we have to take responsibility ? My parents worked hard enough all their lives to make sure they don't have to rely on the pension...
