Might not be able to crowdfund but you can get a springboard mortgage
ETA though I suppose that relies on one person not multiple people

I bet she didn't. She did it herself, made a bags of it, blamed the child.
this is so bizarre, I assume most of her friends are not millionaires with money to buy a flat/house... why would they give/loan her money? Very JM
Can just see Monroe now, gleefully following this thread and pinching herself, not quite willing to believe that her biggest of big dreams seems finally to be picking up steam... as for what kind of idea it is, it seems to be a brilliant way to put pressure on vague acquaintances to donate free money and then as sure as night follows day, finding ever more elaborate excuses as to why paying it back is not only an impossibility, but a full-on personal attack to ever be expected.

Ghetto Jack is so wise (I’ll stop now

I feel like you're basically giving her the next business idea - "inspirational" quote photos
I feel quite strongly that you probably shouldn't take on eight bleeping cats if you're not in a stable living situation.
I've seen more of these grifters than ever in the last few days...oddly enough, given that I live somewhere with much higher unemployment and a horrendous economy, we don't seem to get many. They generally seem to middle class British or American. I suppose you need a certain cushion behind you before you can start grifting for a living?

I mean...banks mostly only have money if it’s “our” money...banks collect the interest and give interest (after taking their part)...so what she’s describing is...a bank?
Totally agree, if you rent it is hard even to find a place you can have 1, let alone 8, how much space does she have?! Also I have shared ownership so I partly own and pets are my choice - I have 1 cat, but no way could I afford 8!!! I would love a second but even that I don't really knowI could afford atm. my cat costs more money than I do in terms of food/flea treatment etc.... unless you really have a lot of money/live on a farm and they are basically just outside all the time, 8 cats would be INSANELY expensive
Exactly! Reminds me of an anti-vaxxer who recently wished for some way of strengthening the immune system by exposing it to a tiny bit of Covid-19.I mean...banks mostly only have money if it’s “our” money...banks collect the interest and give interest (after taking their part)...so what she’s describing is...a bank?

Who decides which friend you pay back first? What happens when you loose your job and can't afford to pay anyone back. What happens when the mortgage rate inevitably rises and your income doesn't? What happens when you fall out with your friends and family? What happens when your friends and family want the money for their own project? What happens when the property you have bought has unexpected costly maintenance? etc. etc.
This idea is just too stupid for words.
this literally sounds like why, 100s (or whenever) years ago, people invented banks
Great post, do you have a tip jar?
or better yet, a patreon?
This is just glorified begging surely? The brass neck of this woman is unbelievable! I often wonder why people give money to types like this. This blue ticker is bound to give Jack ideas if she sees her post, although we’re probably due for a Jack chaos or an injury of some sort pretty soon, where she’s bound to rattle her tip jar once again.
Would you not just die of shame?? Imagine having money problems and instead of trying to handle then quietly, you rush to social media: hey guys, I see some of you react to my posts with the laughing or loveheart emoji a LOT...well, times are tight, so put your money where your mouth is! #foreverhome
That is the whole problem with this buy me a coffee, tip jar, patreon rubbish. These people have no shame, the don't care who gives them money for nothing. Those that donate may have less than them but they don't give a tit. These grifters have no self respect. People most in need would see that as begging and wouldn't demean themselves.
