OK so I know you can't have your cake and eat it, but we're trying to get a mortgage but have been refused. This is because a) we have student loans because we wanted education to invest in our future b) my dh is paying into a pension which has great returns for the future c) I only work evenings so I can raise my preschool age kids so this doesn't count towards mortgage (no family nearby, expensive childcare cancels out any financial benefit)We have no other loans, HP or even sky TV.
Just a boring rant and I know that I am very privileged compared to 99% of the world's population!
