Popular Post coda Posted September 29, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2014 Back story: my sister moved out bought a house with her boyfriend about 2 years ago. 4 months later they break up and she's back at home, and about 1 year ago the house is sold. She walks away with what she put in (approx 9k). 5 months ago she moves out again and rents with her friend. So now her friend doesn't want to renew their rental so she wants to buy house(good for her, right?). Only it turns out she had spent all of the money she got from selling her house whilst she was living at home(and not paying board etc). So how does she plan on buying this house you ask(this is whereby it gets absolutely unbelievably unbelievable). An "Investment scheme" it is pitched as. I give her my savings(ironically I'm saving up to buy a house) to buy a house and she "renovates" it. Honestly can't believe the audacity in the first place. Secondly she is the most financially untrustworthy person I know(see 9k spent in 12 months on **** all) Thirdly how does she plan on increasing the value of the house(or even paying me back at all) when all she'll be doing is swapping rent for a mortgage and she couldn't afford to save up for a deposit in the first place. Fourthly? doing this ties up my money, the reason its in an isa and not locked in a long term investment(which I think is the nicest way to describe this) is because I will actually want access to it in the relatively near future. Bottom line lately she doesn't seem to give a shit about anyone in the family unless she wants something from them, and I'm sick of it. /rant Sorry, had to vent. Tell her there's a spare room going in the Pissy Pants Housemate thread. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Why would you give someone who blew 9k in 12 months a big chunk of your savings? Same reason Randy kept giving money to MON. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an absolute barrel of monkey spunk that is. Teachers have lots of "non-teaching" time but to say they get 12 weeks holiday a year is simply untrue. There are two bits to a teachers job. The stuff they do with the kids.... and the planning/preparation and assessment of that they are going to do/have done with the kids. Its a full time job - not all of it spent in front of a class. In fact, the working hours for the money is shit and you'd have to be a special kind of idiot to do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folski Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 My girlfriend is currently on Teaching Practice, 1 week down, will barely see her the next 4 weeks and she is stressed out of her mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 After 4 years college, 3 years of working & studying at the same time to become an accountant, I get to use my summers on facebook seeing all the teachers post pictures from Thailand & Mexico. I'm going doing tax exams now in the hope that I'll get picked up by some University and get my own summers off. If I could go back and do it all again, I'd be a teacher full stop.

Folski Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 My wife is a teacher, and I've valiantly defended her and her profession on here enough times to realise there is no point. It's like arguing evolution with a creationist. I think it may be different in the UK, but in Ireland it is some job, it's 183 days a year for primary, 167 for secondary. My girlfriend's brother has been teaching in Carlow the last 5 years I'd say gets paid every summer, was in Vietnam all summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My girlfriend's brother has been teaching in Carlow the last 5 years I'd say gets paid every summer, was in Vietnam all summer. I used to want to be a teacher. It was the reason I did my degree, to eventually teach English. Living with someone doing the job changed my mind. It is a relentless and draining profession, and for me the holidays wouldn't make up for it. As Eames said, the hourly rate is shit. I'm a qualified and former teacher. Marking at 2am one morning in my NQT year made me think "what the **** am I doing this for?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
