Keep going, keep going

Let's break £1950 & ATH by Friday

[MBTPSilver]

New Euro record this morning, USD was about $3 off, and GBP about £24 so we know gold can do that in a day if it gets some momentum behind it.

I wish. too many ducks to get in a row. It was a place we have already been this year (it's on the list of places to buy a holiday home) so it's all part of the Escape UK plan.

£1927.88. Are we finally seeing the hard landing that they have manged to kick down the road for two years?

Also got off a plane from Tenerife yesterday. Bloody freezing!

Interesting-do you have a thread open already about looking into a holiday home/escape the UK dictatorship

Gold would be on the rise - did my biggest gold sale of over 16oz at around £1900 an oz a couple weeks ago 😤. Still, i am enjoying being Mortgage free so can’t win them all. Framed my letter from Nationwide saying I’ve paid it off 😄

I recall someone opened a thread. I tried searching, but no luck. Hopefully someone else will guide us/point it out...?

That's brilliant, congratulations! "I paid my mortgage off by investing in gold" is a pretty cool achievement!

That would be an interesting thread to start.  There is quite a good forum which I used to haunt quite regularly when I had my place in Italy. Here is the link to it.

Hate to burst your bubble but you still don't own your house only the deeds. Is it on land registry? Have you got allodial title?

Brilliant, I love websites like this, thanks! 

It's also useful to follow Facebook groups for specific countries - e.g. Living in Poland, Portugal, Canaries groups etc. I've learned some really useful things - especially regarding what tax you'll pay both abroad and if still have UK investments etc.

Gold is doing great this week £1925!

Oddly, US inflation came in lower than expected, which would suggest more/bigger rate cuts, but the dollar is rallying, pushing gold down. Maybe some initial relief and them thinking it's good for the economy? I would have expected gold to jump up on the news.

Edit - core inflation was a bit higher, so this is what seems to have kept rate cut expectations at 25 basis points, and given the dollar a bit of strength.

It is on land registry yes, it takes 10 days for it the charge to be released and show on the title/deeds. It’s an absolute title, i dont believe allodial title exists in UK but happy to be corrected.

Anything registered means it's property of the crown corporation. Just look at your logbook for example it even says you are the keeper (not the owner, that's the DVLA!). Hence they can compulsory purchase people's houses to make new roads or railways etc. And so you really own a house when if you don't pay council tax you get harassed and could ultimately get a charge put on your property. There's just so much corruption!

True but whats the alternative? Mortgage up to the eyballs? Not pay your mortgage at all? Rent? Live on a boat? In a tent? Under a bridge?

-and with an unencumbered property you will have extra funds to invest elsewhere - outside the corruption - so you have more options if things go wrong

The answer I can say is to be free as you possibly can from this system, be 100% mortgage and debt free, don’t buy into the BS. There’s a lot going for this country, better than some other western countries  we could live in.  

yes it all could go pear shaped, try and enjoy life the best you can.

This is the difficult thing there's no solution as things stand. I have a mortgage but I'm thinking of challenging my bank over it and asking them to provide proof they ever lent me any money whatsoever and prove it wasn't in fact my signature that created the money in the first place. Numerous people have done this now and the banks either totally ignore your questions or send bailiffs to repossess the property. But then we get into another corrupt practice... These bailifs that turn up don't have a real warrant that is stamped and sealed and signed by a legitimate court! So not only do banks not lend you any money they also use fraudulent instruments to try and repossess the property! It's unbelievable. But people are fighting back and I've been to a few repossession attempts now and the bailifs get turned around and sent on their merry way! 

All roads lead to Rome and we live in modern day Babylon. 

You're in a better position than many though now you have no mortgage so congrats on that.
