A bit but I haven’t saved 7.5% of a house through not going out, it has helped but unfortunately work etc dries up with this pandemicDoesn't that contradict your argument a bit as people have saved a fortune from not going away or not being able to go out to pubs & restaurants etc
That’s it, sacrifices need to be made but it’s getting harder. People talk about young people but I know my parents got their mortgage in the 90’s and in terms of the % of their income it was a lot less than mine would be now. Cost of living is going up higher than wages and like you said it’s getting worse, young people do have it hard with buying houses but people won’t listenAwait the inevitable backlash mate about those expensive coffees you drink and the latest iPhone you have.
Try to ignore the fact you don’t have these things and that these comments will largely come from people who bought their first home on one wage and when the cost of living wasn’t continuously rising in comparison to wages.
