The way he spends money on shite, he’ll never save for a deposit. If the pair of them put their minds to it they could have a decent home of their own. (When I say decent I mean before Marlon fills it with grey tat.)
You're not entirely wrong.
Endowment mortgages worked well in the 1980's. They were set up to reach a 'target' amount which would hopefully pay off the mortgage and there would usually be a cash surplus at the end of the term to spend how you liked. They also included free life cover without the need for a medical.
The problem was they were linked to stock market performance and the target amount wasn't guaranteed, which is why I said hopefully. Most endowment providers started sending out letters in 1993 warning they weren't guaranteed to pay off the mortgage at the end of the term.
They are actually quite a complicated financial investment and the vast majority of people took them out without really understanding them - they just saw the pound signs because that's the way they were sold and people naturally want something for nothing. Everyone understands greed. Sales people were also hugely incentivised to sell them.
A recipe for disaster really but, in saying that, not all endowments were missold.
By the way, I dealt with endowment misselling complaints for a year and worked in the mortgage industry for 24 years.

I was one of the lucky ones, mine paid out but much less than we’d been led to believe. I knew people who weren’t so lucky!You're not entirely wrong.

My canny Dad impressed upon me that if there was a financial incentive for a lender to sell you one product over another, the deal was probably better for them than for you. Unsophisticated but effective advice so it was capital repayment all the way lol.Snap! It was very first job. Hence my mortgage was a capital repayment
Melvin is getting his dream house only if he lands a windfall. He's way too profligate with what money he has to do it the harder way i.e.savings and ability to budget.

Couldn’t resist another laugh at the garish balloons and now looks like he’s taken down the photo of his dad with the ‘letter’ that looks very much like a cheque?
Do you think he’s had ‘thoosands ae messeegiz’ about it or have his parents seen it and told him to take it down?

There has just been a shooting & a man killed about 3 streets away from his parents’ place 
I looked when I saw the comment about this last night and couldn't see it then.Couldn’t resist another laugh at the garish balloons and now looks like he’s taken down the photo of his dad with the ‘letter’ that looks very much like a cheque?

It was probably a cheque for his critical illness insurance payout.
I checked with a couple online and it is something they generally would pay out on.
Interesting! I’m clueless about all that sort of thing as I just rent.
They seem like a nice couple but can’t believe Mario posting it all over Insta
How embarrassing for them.
I am having to read your comments at least twice lol - need to catch up with the M lingo
I wonder if Derek reads Tattle and secretly laughs.... but then again I wonder if Derek can read....
