He’s a f***ing weirdo. You want to have a word.

It’s amazing, really. You post about evidence that people are doing less of something and everyone just wades in with their annecdotes about people doing it.
It’s almost like you don’t notice the people spending less because there isn’t anything to notice.

How is it tragic living at home. In my view it makes sense because you might have your own house but also you've got more debt.
He's a gentleman and a scholar. His dad used to run a few nightclubs in shields back in the 60s, 70s and 80s

That is just made up surely? If I was the parent I'd kick him out and if I was the wife I would kick him out. Unless it's some benefit fraud.

Still summat odd going on there though. Bailing out on your wife and kids to go and stay with your mam for the weekend. It’s not you is it?

You’re over 30 though you old fuck
What does that have to do with anything you cheeky young whipper snapper?

Guessing people you know from back home will be a similar age to you, so you’re talking about the age bracket under 30s are being compared to.

By doing that you’re basically a kid pretending to be a real person. It’s sad as fuck.
Plenty of people living like that between ages 23-37 based on people I can think of who I know. Wasn’t a dig at any particular generation. I’m attacking everyone mate I don’t discriminate.

young adults def dont go out on the drink as much as we did, partly as iyts too expensive now and the continental hours has made towns up and down the country less busy also
Houses are far too expensive now so i reckon , at a guess, back in day most tried to get their own house mid/late 20s , nowadays its probably more like 30 , need a crazy size deposit now
young uns also seem to spend much more time in the gym now and social media means they can just chat online, which is a sad sign of the times

I disagree I think it makes sense. If you have a full time job you can live at home and have no debt. It's up to the person they could leave at any time but I can see sense in what they do.
Plus if you've got a busy lifestyle you probably don't need the hassle of having your own place.

Good point. So what should we be saying?
Aye I know a lad like that. Tighter than a nat’s chuff. Never buys avocados, doesn’t even have his own car. Lives in his own house and is independent as fuck, the spenk.

Thinking about it some kids I know are tight little fuckers. One particular one I know pays £20 board a week (18) and spends none of her £200 a week she gets from her job. Annoys the fuck out of me. Just stays in all week doing fuck all.

My nephew is the same, supposedly saving for house then got rid of his leased Citroen and replaced it with a leased Merc.

Or driving a 5 series when you could walk from Gilly Law to Doxford International every day for work. Probably don’t need to get their eyebrows or back, sack and crack waxed either but it’s their money I suppose.
I’d rather have my own kitchen and a living room with all my things in it whether I was renting or not but that’s people for you.
He built his own flat next to his parents. They had a big double garage so he thought it a good idea to build his own place above the garage with his own bathroom and stuff. It's the best of both worlds really.

You don’t have to say anything tbh.
Just think “Oh aye everyone I know leases a Ferrari 458, has holidays on the moon and has daily pomegranate juice enemas.” Doesn’t really advance the discussion much.
