Thinks having a mortgage is an achievement
 

How small time is that?

Actually she is right, particularly for young people. Not everyone is a high earner, or has a rich relative to help them out. I think it is ridiculous to mock her, or put in this ugly twitter
piece for just stating what is a fact of life for a lot of young people.

Um, for a young woman in todays economy it's actually an achievement.

It is. :umm2:

No one I know can get a mortgage .

Surely that tweet in the op signature is fake?

What twitter piece?

No it is real, apparently.

Getting a morgage is an achievement in my book

Tell that to people with a portfolio of properties.:laugh:

As ambitions go, getting a mortgage is up there with "having kids" and "getting married." It is just a normal part of life.

And to think that "getting a mortgage" compares with Marc getting a university education and becoming a scientist, is laughable.

Nevermind the mortgage, what really bothered me was when Chloe tried to talk to Marc about an education & Marc would not engage her.
She went into the bedroom & Aisleyne followed her inside & they seemed to be of the opinion that an education is unimportant.
John quickly told them they are being hysterical.

its not a real proper acheivement, like a lobotomy, a boob job and a footballer boyfriend

Everyone wants different things. I don't see anything wrong in that.

LOL...

Then she should respect his education and stop trying to compare her completely normal achievement with his actually quite impressive one.

Honestly, with how things are today, having a mortgage at her age IS a fantastic achievement. Hell even having a job is an achievement.

I have a mortgage Im so happy im special.

Except when I consider that actually all that means is that I owe a faceless bank an amount of money it will take me most of my life to pay off it doesnt seem that special.

It really isn't.

Anyone with a stable job and a deposit can get a mortgage and I doubt she got the deposit herself. I reckon daddy paid for it.

A real achievement is going to college for years and becoming a scientist.

If it's someone's choice I don't see it as quantifiable.

Frightening isn't it. People think that being a debt slave is an achievement.

Exactly.

So let Marc gloat about his education achievement without having a pop at him.

Funny..the so called educated ones are having to hand back their big ego trip houses now..so yes a young girl getting a mortgage in this day and age is actually a great achievement. .doesnt anyone qatch the news.. remember you can be book smart but life thick. Books are only other peoples thoeries....life lessons are your own.

the amount of judgment being cast is absurd

I give up with this forum

You clearly haven't got my point.

I know people in their 20s who own their houses outright. I know people that age who rent out properties.

Tell them that having a mortgage is an achievement.:laugh:

While the rest of them consider getting fingered by a footballer in a nightclub as an achievment!
Chloe has her head screwed on getting a foot on the housing ladder is a good thing to aim for.

But she said it in comparison to Marc. A man who has a degree education and a job as a scientist.

She wasn't comparing herself to WAGs getting fingered.

Old lispy is just a dull waste of space... for someone who wasnt bothered about his education and thought her mortgage was great she did not half go on about it A LOT...

Anyone with a half decent job can get a mortgage tbh, not everyone can pass a science degree. I couldn't and im not ashamed to admit it

I like that. Very true.

Of course it's an achievement. At 24 to have a mortgage and be settled into a home which you own is impressive, especially given the economy that surrounded her taking out the loan. It's a very impressive achievement. Most of her generation is expected to languish in tenancy hell. They can't save for a mortgage because they're paying rent.

Pssst.....if you have just started paying a mortgage, you don't own the home.

Chances are that her dad stumped up the deposit too.

I know 24 year olds who own a business. I know people that age who own their home outright and rent other houses out. And there are plenty of 24 year olds with first class degrees, working towards PhDs.

Paying off a huge loan to own a little house in doncaster is not an achievement.

it's real.

She has every right to be proud of what she sees as her achievements.
I applaud her for her determination to better herself if she can.

However, I think she also came across rather badly in the highlights tonight.

Yet she won't let Marc be proud of his education achievments.

And while we are on the point he never directed his comments at her anyway it was directed at Danny after he yet again got in Marcs face and started insulting him personally.

But like a little gang they all have jump in and be offended on each others behalfs without any context. cant stand those 3 chloe christian and Danny they are awful

:worship:

And I know plenty of 24 year olds who are on welfare. Plenty who did a degree and stopped right there. I don't get your point. Anecdotal evidence will for ever be gloriously anecdotal.

And if you really want to get pedantic when you get a mortgage you do own your house and have put it up as collateral on a loan while you're paying it back.

There is no need for anecdotes.

Chloe was comparing herself to marc. She seemed to think her "achievement" of getting a mortgage was better than him getting an education and becoming a scientist.

Well it was more like not having an education didn't hold her back. It was a comparison to how they provide for themselves. Chloe owns a home, Marc doesn't.

But its a moot point Marc never said it to Chloe he said it to Danny cause he was being thuggish and unpleasant as usual.
