My son took the keys last week to his 1st house and now has a 40 year mortgage to contend with, when myself and Doris leave this earth then his financial problems will ease but not disappear so you could say he has a safety net, however, he doesn't go sulking on social forums like this complaining on how the world has tucked him up, he just got a 2nd Job saved for a ridiculous deposit and has taken the plunge. TBF to him, he worked out far sooner than i did, their isn't one single politician of any badge colour worth a wank and certainly not worth a 10 min walk to a polling booth. If you want it enough then you can achieve it, I could never have afforded to have gone to University and I'm glad that I didn't, those who did from my era and skool some have done very nicely but good luck to them, no envy, and a pat on the back to them the country needs entrepreneurs, I wouldn't pretend it's easy for the young, I moved out at 21, my son at 31, but as said previously if you want it, it's possible just get of your arse, off your phone, stop whining and get a Job (2 if needed). Immigration needs to be resolved but to even mention the word it's faaaaaaaaaaaaar right. More pressing matters, the next meltdown incoming, The next Tory budget to abolish inheritance Tax
