@m9QD6L4IgW Not everything in life is about saving and investing to absolute maximum efficiency.
A lot of people who can afford to live alone will feel that improves their quality of life, even if they could save money by sharing.

@CallumCMason Everyone without a safe really big and quickly achievable inheritance or family serious assets should live in a house share nowadays. Not because they need, but because they are saving and investing massively.
English
Obviously living in a house share in your 40s is not the most common arrangement, but judging by the comments & quotes here it's less unique than people think
Not great for housing discourse that it seems to be seen as some sort of freakish anomaly!!

Nigel Farage has 5 houses. Zack Polanski lives in a house share with 5 other people. The media is trying to tell you Zack is the problem.

@farmfriendlincs Hiya - would be keen to speak to you about this if you were up for it. Drop me an email on callum.mason@theipaper.com if so

I had a 10 year fixed rate mortgage at 5.99% . Got tired of people saying I had a "bad deal" because on a low income it enabled good financial management and stability. This is not how fixed rates are viewed in UK.
English
@CallumCMason considers why we don't have 30 year fixed rate mortgages like the US. What is not considered is how consumers view fixed rates - too many "look for a deal" rather than price stability. app.inews.co.uk/full_page_imag…

New idea. Next time we publish a report on a politician, I’ll keep the politician’s name blanked out for a week, and let everyone take positions before they find out who it is.

Looking to speak to a landlord whose tenant has already handed in their notice after the introduction of the renters reform act - or a tenant that's done so.
If that's you, drop me a DM or email me on callum.mason@theipaper.com #journorequest

Are you a teacher or doctor who would take higher pay for a slightly less generous pension? Or are you strongly against the idea?
Drop me a DM or email on callum.mason@theipaper.com. Keen to get a range of views for a long-read I'm writing #journorequest

Avocado toast and lattes getting downgraded to a Tesco meal deal in 'here's why you can't afford a house' twitter is the clearest measure of inflation there is.
Slimfit@iSlimfit
British people will spend £4 on a meal deal every single working day, never cook, never calculate the annual total and then wonder why they can’t save. £4 a day is £1,040 a year. Eaten in a park. Under grey skies. In a triangle sandwich. This is not judgement. Just observation.

Exclusive @theipaper, the Housing Secretary went to a “curry night” with major housing developers where exclusive “corporate tables” cost £2,000 plus VAT.

I really don't know why people purchase premium bonds and ideally the government would scrap them. Save your money in a bank which pays interest or ideally take a risk and buy shares!

@JibbaJabb They might not have to do anything to devalue it if mortgage rates carry on as they are!

Millenials like me know what it's like to have your generation maligned
Gen Z are being slammed for wanting a basic standard of living that those before them got without asking
If they seem checked out it's because if a system gives someone no hope why should they buy into it?
English
Gen Z and their supposed 'entitled' attitude to work seem have become society's latest punching bag - and I think it's nonsense.

Will soaring mortgage rates slam the brakes on the property market? Some experts think so.
Almost all banks have raised their fixed mortgage pricing in recent weeks and the increase could add around £1,200 a year of extra costs to a typical household.

Swap rates drop on news of a potential ceasefire.
Still around a full percentage point higher than before this war began, so the cost of funding mortgages is still higher that just a few weeks ago. But could bring a pause to rapidly rising rates - at least for now @moneyfacts
