It ALMOST makes sense to not save but to run up debt - put 100K down on a 400k flat in London. This way, any currency depreciation/inflation would be my friend, not my enemy...
Shurely I can't be the only one with these concerns here....
Yo robster,I go with land too. I keep buying farmland off my neighbour who is a farmer on the premise that as population increases in this country, land premiums for brownfield will go up as more new development is required and planning permission restrictions relax to cater for housing needs.
.................And if you want someone to handle the planners on your behalf, mrs. timsk is a pro' with twenty years experience and is very good, although I confess that I'm an incy wincy bit biased!....................
Tim.
Thanks for the tips this far, although I don't think we've hit a home run yet.
Premium bonds are interesting EXCEPT they are a currency equivalent and currency depreciation is my major concern now. Mind you - they are backed by the govt - which is my other concern.
Farm Land in Illinois - well, I'd just get my pants pulled down on that deal for sure.

That sounds good, although I was worried for a second there; I thought you were about to say you sent your kids into the field so you could take pot shots at them! Re. mrs. timsk - she's a Chartered Town Planning Consultant. I know, I know, how did a posh bird like her end up with a waster like me? It's a question she asks herself daily I'm sure.That's very handy to know Tim. You're right, it is a very, very long term view and highly, highly speculative. Currently the land serves the purpose of allowing the kids to run around and damage themselves and for me to shoot some rabbits for the pot from time to time. Is Mrs Timsk a land agent or some such professional?

You mean the index or an actual case of a good bordeaux from a class 1-5 house?
Or both? Interested to note why you think en primeur would be bad for what was a good growing year in france.
It's because she saw the artist in you
