Young people CAN afford to get on the housing ladder if they give up the easyJet, coffee, gym, Netflix lifestyle

[Boglet]

Just want to say as a long term HPC poster back in the day, how much of a shit I give about the young being priced out is dependent on their individual politics.

So many millennials are total shit for brains who are all for open borders, refugees welcome and free housing and NHS for anyone who turns up on a rubber dinghy.

So in lots of cases I don't care that they can't afford a house. In fact I think it's a good thing as it means they're getting what they fucking deserve.

Rt Hon Kirsty knows all about the plight of the working class, she was born on a council estate and never got any financial help from her parents.

(...I'm joking, she's the daughter of a baron)

Save 3x your annual salary in a year and you too can afford the deposit on a family home!

Whoops no you can't cos it's gone up again.

 

Utter fucktard.

Fair, I thought.

Her and that baldy twat have a sin to answer for.  Even bankrupt of his "pwopatee" firm in 2008 didn't stop the useless c**t from pretending to be a pwopatee expert.

You can see why they blocked me !!!

Shame you got blocked, you could reply to all her post with her Bankruptcy papers to rub it in her face

Shes quite right.

A pair of 25yo, in the top decile of earnings (60k each) can easily afford a small 3brd house in crappy Southern commuter town - providing IRs remain at 300 year lows for the next ~30 years.

As long as they dont have kids or stop working.

The issue is that a small ~300k 3br house in Woking isnt an easy sell to a couple with those sort of earnings.

The actual question should be -

Could you afford to buy the house you are living in?

And this is a very apt question, as most housing is bought by people living in the local area.

If a plumber earning ~40k cannot buy a 3 br house in Woking then the price is too high.

 

That sums up this country perfectly, I'm not on 60k but nearish enough and getting a house will be a struggle, how the poor and middle class survive I dont know.

That's BBC propaganda, most millenials do not want the unwashed masses of the thirld world turning up and mooching of the state but the BBC skews public perception to pretend they are the majority, they are not

Anyone climbing onto the ladder in that area of Ciumbria in ~2004 - 

https://www.home.co.uk/guides/house_prices_report.htm?location=ca15&all=1

will still have a house worth pretty much what they paid for it, ~18 years ago,~30% less in real terms.

Hopefully theyd paid off the mortgage.

Cumbria is where they have gunmen on the rampage.

Thing is pricing them out (when i say them, i mean under circa 53s + divorcees), means they are more likely to vote for a old skool labour esq socialist party that gives them a few crumbs from the table and a small glimmer of hope at owning via manual labour a house or getting a council house via doing sweet FA.

As opposed to voting for the Tory socialist for the rich party, where they do quite literally everything they can to stop this happening.

I agree i can't be doing with all their woke shite, and social media bollocks but there are simpletons of all ages who virtue signal on there.

Besides hopefully just a few more months and then i'll be out of here ... if the Russians invade i may come back.

Having been to Cumbria, it would have been the only exciting day.
