Also cursory googling reveals interest on a NL mortgage is at the lowest its been in a longass time. Apparently you can also get a mortgage of 100% the cost of the house without a deposit there. Also the avg cost of a house in Amsterdam is 200,000 quid lower than the avg cost of a house in London A third of brits don't have even a hundred quid in savings

While I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on NL house prices, maybe in future remind people you are talking about NL? Saying things like 'only 250k' and then being annoyed people assume you mean the UK is kind of on you.

I'm just puzzled over the fact that at one point people were going "Why the hell haven't you bought a house yet, idiot" and I am explaining the reasons. Idk the dynamics of your local housing market but paying someone else's mortgage while you have a big fat stacks of wonga sitting around unproductive is a bit of an oversight for an entrepreneurial bloke like yourself is all.

NL house prices are basically the same as Edinburghs if not a bit lower and I'd be laughing from within my new house if I had 80k in the bank

I'm honestly not sure it's healthy for AoF to be posting here - I think he's combined his need to find the most negative thread on the forums (roughly at some point around the first Brexit deadline) with a collection of angry, often disadvantaged marxists who will feed his need to be trashed. he thinks he wants sympathy but what he needs is people validating his self loathing and he's hit an infinite goldmine here. this is going to keep happening, i dunno.

I agree and would ideally have him banned from this thread in particular and probably even D&D, for our sake and for his. We can't stop him reading it and feeding the misery monkey, but we can at least spare ourselves. But I am not a mod.

Yeah, I've said before that he needs to be banned for the sake of his and others' mental health. He feeds off misery and spreads it back in an incredibly unhealthy way, and has done so for years. He's downright infamous in the climate change thread, for instance.

I just gave an admittedly extreme opinion on sports but then people jumped on with references to prior things. I am capable of saying neutral things, you have seen that. But if people provoke me am I not supposed to defend myself?

I am a mod and I have to agree. All points people have raised are valid and it is not healthy for you to be constantly posting what you do here. It is not like you have been ignored this entire time. People have engaged over and over and have tried to offer advice help and finally frustration. AoF please do not post in this thread anymore.

Granted AoF has made no reasonable effort to seek help or take any kind of protracted break from the thread. Hopefully an enforced break will be the impetus he needs to seek help, and he's lucky to be able to afford to do so if he can, but I don't think the idea that mildly well off people can't be depressed is a great one to be playing around with.

Mark Blyth once mentioned that the Germanic word 'schuld' means both 'debt' and 'guilt', based on Calvinist bullshit about how debt is inherently bad or whatever. Considering Germany and the Netherlands are no less rooted in Calvinist bullshit than they were, say, 400 years ago, it's easy to see why folks like AoF are, as they say, less prone to taking risks and thinking life is suffering, because debt is inherently sinful and we must all suffer for whatever reason.

If I remember correctly, it's essentially because Original Sin and our own bad thoughts and behaviours make this world such that God has to test you through suffering. If/when you make it through in one piece and with the appropriate amount of Protestant Good Thoughts and Works then your reward comes in Heaven.
