I found this cartoon particularly funny in the light of the current housing market and the fact that couples are divorcing and losing houses.

I nearly lost my house when I divorced, but was lucky (and bold) enough to hang onto it and buy my ex-wife out. It was a risky decision but I’m certain I made the right one. I’m now letting the house out and can ride out the downturn in property prices without needing to panic and sell up.

In fact, I’m even thinking of buying another house now. It may be a bad time to sell, but there’s some bargains to be had out there if you’re buying, especially if you’re buying from a couple who are getting divorced. They have to sell, and fast!
