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.

I like that. Very true.

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

[Rorkimaru]

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.

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.

[joeysteele]

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.

[RodHull]

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

It is one in this economy tbh. Curious thing to hate on her for but...well this is TiBB I suppose.

I don't hate her for it. I disliked her way before she said that for other reasons. But it just struck me as an incredibly small time thing to have as her ambition in life.

It reminded me of an argument that i had many years ago with a troll on the internet. This troll was boasting that she was a nurse and had a "new car every 3 years" and I responded with "enjoy your lease car that you never actually own while I buy mine"


I don't think chloe realises that, outside doncaster, getting a huge loan with awful interest rates to buy an estate ****hole isn't the ambition most people have.

I can't believe how much of a massive deal you're making of this, she didn't say it was her "ambition in life", the only point she was making was that there are achievements in life other than getting an education, and she has had her own. Marc's comment was made to belittle those (particularly Danny) who haven't got an education like he does, and she was trying to justify why she thinks that's stupid.

Dunno why you see the need to compare it with Mark's career. I'm working towards becoming a scientist, yet I'm sitting here in a tiny box room in a shared student flat A mortgage is looking like a pretty great achievement to me (and probably any other wannabe scientist) right now!

So you disagree with me. That is fine. It is what a discussion forum is all about. I welcome views that oppose mine as well as agree with me.

[Beetlejuice]

She's a young girl, getting on in life and has taken on the responsbility of having a mortgage. Good for her. This thread seems to me to be rather mean spirited.

It isn't.

Chloe said this while having a pop at marc for something he said in an argument that had nothing to do with her.

It was all designed to upstage marc and his education. But it looked a bit pitiful really.

Marc never even mentioned her. Yet she has to start bragging about something that most people take for granted.

And I don't believe for a second that she paid for the deposit herself. Where would she obtain circa 20 grand at that age?

Either her drug dealer dad paid for it or she is on one of these government schemes where the deposit is paid for you.

You're going on like getting a mortgage is no achievement, then in this post suggest that raising the money for a deposit is unachievable make your mind up!
