Well done marra, it takes dedication to achieve what we have, you can’t be a pisshead and live a life of Riley unless you earn mega bucks.
Honestly mate, well done.
Nearly a million more young adults now live with parents

You’ve said literally nothing of note other than wages were lower but things were cheaper when you were young.
Cheers Captain Obvious. Brand new infiormation!
I do alright but clearly that’s the intention within the next 10 years.

You never tell another woman’s age, but she doesn’t currently have a partner so she lives with me.

This. Probably don’t belittle a whole group of people without knowing their circumstances when your own circumstances leave you reliant on help from the state.
Which is fine btw. Just chill out about kids whose parents are funding them rather than the taxpayer as a whole.

Aye because I'm a working mother on a low wage. Okay then snidey fucker, I stood on my own 2 feet for 16 years, then I needed a little help when I changed to part time hours.
I couldn't afford even the shittest flat within 20 miles of where I live. Even if I had saved up thousands.
The SMB is so out of touch with the reality of young people it's good reading like.

Nowt wrong with that, glad you have the help you need, just no need to be "snidey" about others.

Oh dear you're wrong again!! I said that we were paid the going rate, but made do with owld second hand stuff we could afford, until we saved up for something better. You really should pay attention, or stay off the lash

I wasn't being snidey in the slightest. I was saying how a lot of young folks want to stay at home as it's cheaper than having your own place (especially if they like nice things and go out a lot).

And here is the point you spectacularly missed. If you turn up at a job interview these days wearing knackered, shite clothes you will (unfortunately) be less likely to get the job.
If you start turning up to work looking like a scruff in front of, say, a client, you might rightly get pulled to one side and get told to sort it out.
It’s a different world today.
As I say - the only point you made is it was different back then. No shit?!

Some do, some don't.
Some rely on state benefits, some don't.
Each to their own really.

A lot of 40-odd year old folks smash gin back despite being reliant on benefits.
I don’t actually care. But just leave others alone. You have your circumstances, they have theirs. Ok?

I don't smash gin back ya daft get, I don't go out, I don't have a social life, I don't buy expensive gear, I save all year for Christmas and birthdays, I don't have holidays and just about get by ffs - living the life of Riley me mind
Why are you sticking the boot in anyhoo? I'm not picking on anyone ffs, I understand why folks would still live at home, it's far f***ing cheaper than having your own place.

Our dustbin men turned up yesterday, scruffy as feck, in front of their clients to empty our bins, and they didn't get a bollocking

My grandad genuinely turned round to me when I was about 22 and said you should go and buy a house, someone will still do 100% mortgages.
