It's a problem here also, rising house prices mean many will never actually own one and be long-term renters instead. I worked hard to buy my first one, and the subsequent ones also, went without things, and made a lot of good decisions. I feel fortunate to have put in the effort, learned along the way, taken some calculated risks and the initiative to buy, invest and transact property for many years. It's left me in a good situation.
I feel for those who work hard and yet the house/property purchase remains elusive and it's only likely to get worse.
I found it bizarre when I learnt that 30% of 25-29 year olds still live with parents now in England. It was only a few years ago it was an absolute embarassment to still be there a day over 18 lol
Yep I agree...I was out of home at 17.5 and leaned into life hard knowing I'd make mistakes (which I did) and have success (which I did). These days people hang around at home, it comfortable I guess, and that inhibits learning, mistake-making and ultimate growth and development. Just my opinion.
