All,
there's a right old debate going on over on the Grauniad, they did an article about all the 30 somethings who live with parents still:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/20...ental-home-ons
and the comments are amazing, look at this one:
'I'm 29, earn a more than reasonable amount and rent relatively cheaply in what you'd call a 'student flat' (i.e. it's basic at best and landlord doesn't really bother us as long as we don't bother him and we pay the rent on time).
My student loan repayments are pretty sizable, and i've paid the bank off the money i was loaned for an MSc, but can i afford to save for a mortgage? Not a chance.
I've pretty much written off the entire idea of ever owning a house. And don't even get me started on a car...
'
makes the things we complain about over here pale into insignificance
so give yourselves a pat on the back and remember how fortunate you are.
Milan.
