My boy has worked since he was 17 in part time jobs until he finished uni and now on the property ladder despite not being in a massively well paid job - he used the pandemic to save whilst being at home and used this to help as did his girlfriend

My daughter is in a professional occupation in the NHS and pays her way in a house owned by her partner and is waiting on their first joint purchased home together

Both of my kids have Netflix accounts mobile phones etc but find a balance between the necessities and the wants

Have they worked hard for it - yes

I know loads of other young adults their age who have done exactly the same

Do they moan about their lot definitley not - they are some of the most well adjusted values based decent people I know

I personally think the future is in better hands for the generation coming through than it was in ours - my view is that as a generation we have royally fecked it all up and they will be left to pick up the pieces
Well said.
