Nearly a million more young adults now live with parents

[BigPete]

I'm not banking much at all like, rent is also expensive. I'd save thousands a year more by living and working in the north east.

Just enjoying just living, travelling, necking pints and acting a tit at the weekend. I'm okay with that.

As long your happy mate and standing on own two feet who gives a fuck what anyone else says, good on you!

Still live at home, im 25 and my gf is 23. Both enjoy our holidays, trips away, eating out etc. We've been together coming up 8 years, and only recently really seriously started talking about looking for somewhere. We dont have great jobs, but we've both been working hard to improve our work situations, in terms of financially and also with how we feel about going to work. She was massively unhappy at her last job, due to a number of reasons, now has a new job and loves it, been a massive change in her outlook on everything which is great.

Im lucky to know my parents have put money aside to help with deposit, but its the running costs each month that would be the issue for us, so with a few adjustments with our day to day living and spending and hopefully an improvement on wages by this time next year we'll be in or close to being in a house of our own.

I'd want to do a stint of renting together first before buying like. 8 years is massive amount of time together at that age though to be fair, how the fuck have you managed that.

Wanna bet

Yep, I’ll bet

What a lovely attitude that is.



What the fuck

Live down there and work your fingers to the bone, I’m happy, great life, work when I can be arsed and don’t have to worry about a single thing, oh and I’m in my mid 40’s,what the fuck, I know which live I’d be rather living.

What the fuck

Yep, me and @BigPete meeting up for a pint, you coming along to give us your expert wisdom on living your life to survive????

Very rarely.



He’s obviously fucked. He’s just quoted himself offering to take himself for a pint.

Correct, I made a simple mistake, no need to get a fatty on a wank yourself into oblivion.

Love the southerners outlook on life, their lives are so much better than us poor northerners, keep it, it’s class being poor and having reasonable living costs whilst you make your millio..... oh no wait, you make a comparison wage to us northerners but pay way over the odds for a one bedroom wank tank....

Crack on lads, you’re all nearly 70 or will be.

Going out on a limb here, but have you had a beer?

I don’t live in the south, for avoidance of any doubt by the way.

I’ve had quite a few, I’ll be having a few more when I get picked up at 6 in the morning to go to Oxford, love my life, worked hard to live it, do what I want when I want.

Still supporting my daughter who has moved home after a torrid time, yet you choose to attempt ridicule, you must be a bit of a shit ****.

It appears to be fine for you to ridicule other people’s choices though? Aye?

Go to bed and enjoy the match. You’re embarrassing yourself.

Take a long hard look at yourself, there’s only one person embarrassing their shitty selves.

Where have I ridiculed anyone, far from it, you’re acting a bit of a cock to be fair.

It was so big mate.

I mean, go back and read your posts. What was that about a one bedroom wanktank?

Do I really need to explain??? It really isn’t difficult, I’m meant to be the thicko according to you experts

So you haven’t been ridiculing, for example, people who choose to or have to live in the south by flaunting your cheaper living standards?

 

[42]

Isnt it something like 14% in NE & over 40% in London?

Figures being skewed by the SE

And the London lot complaining of 15 - 20x salary house prices, you made the choice to move there. I have very little sympathy.

Best of luck mate.

Nearly a million more young adults now live with parents – study

Is this down to a hard financial environment or young ones thinking everything should be provided ?

Jammy bastards.

 

[42]

This.

Also you don't leave home and buy a bloody house, you rent and save or not whatever, that is how you make it in life.
Took me till 37 (Left at 22, did one year post uni) to get the deposit together (we did both go back for further degrees that delayed that).
Have some pride and leave your mam and dad alone. Think how proud they'll be when you first have them to stay in you first proper home and YOU did it by hard work, I know mine were.

Nah, buying is cheaper than renting.
Ive never rented & glad ive never done it as id be worse off.

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.

Out of touch?
Didnt you move by choice to an unaffordable area?
Had you stayed in NE you could easily afford somewhere.

 

[---Nemo---]

you're wasting your time. they think because you can buy a derelict 2 bed in wheatley hill for 4 quid then it should apply to us. bearing in mind that my job, and i imagine yours as well, there are none of in the area

Your choice of career path. Deferred gratification that may lead to the social status and home ownership you aspire to or a have it now under "reduced" circumstances.

 

[WhoAreYa73]

I was one so I'll tell you. Very few of our generation went to uni, only the really clever people got there. The rest us got jobs,(apprenticeships, or labouring) and peddled our bikes, rode our old motorbikes or drove our battered up old cars to work and college. My first wage was £2.2s 6d a week. Beer was a bob a pint in the club, yes beer not fecking designer gin, champagne or cocktails. We learnt about cars, because we fixed our own, and went down the scrappie for spare parts. We didn't get into debt, if you wanted something you saved for it, and bought it cash. Our holidays were a week in Blackpool. Most of us left home before or soon after 21 years old, either renting a flat, shacking up with a girlfriend, moving in with a group of mates, or getting married and getting a mortgage. I think the key was, not living beyond your means, working all the overtime you could, and SAVING !!

Well I’ll just go from my point of view. I work 6 days a week, earn a good wage to what some people would earn. I save every week unless something is more important than that saving. I’ve been on one holiday in the last 2 year but before that it was about 6 years. I don’t go out, I recently went out in Newcastle for the first time in over a year and a half. The only thing I do have is a newish car but it’s nothing flashy it’s a Focus but I do a lot of motorway driving and my job isn’t 2 minutes around the corner or a 5 minute bus ride like every seems to think nowadays.

But I still couldn’t afford a house on my own.

That's not living thats just existing mate. Owning a house isn't everything - get out and enjoy yourself while you're young
