If you really want something that's out of your reach, then either you sacrifice to save for the life you want, or change your dream to fit your situation. Else, it appears, resign yourself to a life of moaning about others...

There it is
Dont worry the markets not broken, you just aint trying hard enough son. Im so happy there are all these extremely well paid jobs available in the UK, its why the average wage is £50-£60,0000 isnt it
Again, ignores the fact that we need people to do work that (currently) doesn't pay very well.
We need carers. We need delivery drivers.
These people don't want to live in mansions. They want a modest house, and modest payments on that modest house, and to enjoy their lives.
They just don't want to be milked dry by landlords.
Thought about moving up North?There it is

I don't have a horse in this race but "you could always try at life" seems like pretty good advice, regardless of the topic.

Don't we all.
You see.... when the trolling/ poor baiting is so blatent. It kinda looks bad
So why do we go to such pains to ensure that the low-paid can't achieve that modest ambition?
In a well-functioning market, there is something for all pockets. Basic things for those of little means. Extravagant things for those with money to spend.
The housing market is not a well-functioning market, and the actions of some make it worse for others.
What pains, and who's ensuring it?
Well you've been shown in this thread that landlords don't affect the market to the extent you think, and you appear to ignore any comments that state the benefits of landlords for those that do wish or need to rent.
I call it advice, but perhaps you're in denial.lol my above comment applies to you too, poor quality trolling/baiting my friend

The actions of those who think like you make it worse, for example, increase taxes more, that passes down, or makes activity in that area unprofitable and thus people stop doing it.
No one has answered this yet. I thought all the LL haters would be full of ideas
Anyone?
Overnight rate with the federal reserve currently, via money market funds. If you want guaranteed
I guess if you identified with it, you must think you are.
Sure thing:Keep trying
It was legitimate advice, on which the only comment you could muster was bizarre blather, and now resort to accusations of trolling... yet my post was informative, yours nonsensical... so perhaps you're the troll? Or, as I stated previously in denial of the situation.
The answer was stocks.
Buying A House Vs Investing In The Stock Market
Debating buying a house vs. investing in the stock market? While both can be smart money moves and both come with risk, here’s why the latter is the better decision.

Plenty of countries have higher taxes than the UK, and score higher on happiness/QoL metrics, too.
Personally I'd like the UK to be a higher tax, more socialist country.
I thought all the landlords on OCUK kept their properties in tip top condition, serviced the tenants needs without any qualms and provided cheap rents too. Im devastated and surprised that faults were found and your tenant asked you to do some work on the property, i mean the inspectors and tenant should be thankful you even bothered to rent the property out at all, right?
Only skimmed through the last few pages (same half a dozen landlords over and over dog piling
Love how if you want a home where you live and work, have connections and family the answer is to move as far away/north as possible, buy a cheaper house in a former fishing/factory/mining town which has no facilities and a dead economy with very little job opportunities and uproot your entire life to live somewhere you dont want to live. All in the name of, "if you cant afford my rent or buying my property then move up north you poor scum"
Classic
Just because you want something doesn't mean you can afford it or are entitled to it.
Same as your side likes to ignore the fact that there are lots of low-paid workers paying more in rent than they would pay in mortgage repayments, if they could get a mortgage. And don't want to be stuck in that position, but can't find a way out.
And don't want to have the insecurity of being unable to prevent their eviction on a whim, but can't stop that, either.
