The under 45's - making a big sacrifice, and likely suffer most in the long term..

Tell me about it. 13% mortage, redundant three times. RE. pensions hopefully they'll recover, though the paradox re. the 90's is that annuity rates were close to 10% !!

You have my sympathies, although i wouldn't want to be young now, starting out, looking for work and a place to live. They've got little chance of buying a house and their working conditions are poor in terms of contracts etc.
