    Re: How do young people cope?

    We've recently found out we're expecting our first child and went to look at prams and newborn stuff yesterday.

    For the most popular brand it was a staggering £1400 for just a pram and car seat.

    Mid terrace 2 bed house for rent in Canton is about £1400/month

    Car insurance is about £750 for a 25 year old.

    And I know everyone is in the same boat with high costs, but how are young familes (younger than me) supposed to survive these days when they're stuck in entry level jobs?
    If you spend £1400 on a pram and £1400pm to rent 2 bedroom house in Canton you need locking up.

        Says someone angry with a red face

        The softest attempt at an insult I've ever heard.

          Is that all you could come up with? At the second attempt too

          People shouldnt complain about their current state of affairs because there was a war nearly 100 years ago. Lets be fair.

            It was soft, gammon face so offensive

            No point crying on message boards because 50% don't care and the other 50% are glad you're having a sht time, just get on with it.

            The post is nonsense anyway who would spend £1400 on a pram and £1400pm on renting 2 beds in Canton?

            ebay have nearly new prams for £50.

              Do you realise your statement only refers to people who are over 100? Which is about 15,000.

                            It's not complicated, my five-year-old grandaughter could grasp it, best leave it there if you can't
