Wonder what they would have said that my brother stayed home till 30yrs and countless others back in the days, who wrote about that back then ? no one for there are countless reasons why not just because of affording a property.
In saying that, leesa, young people not having a chance.
Another generalised comment.
There will always be those who get themselves in a position who can and those who cannot.
If everyone was the same we'd be in a sorry place I suppose thankfully not.
As Charliewool quotes, his own boys have.
Late last year my late 20's niece and new hubby just bought a run down semi in inner Sydney - from saving their ****'s off for a number of years - funny just as myself and wife not a the time did as well way back then when it was meant to be affordable.
I say that for when we were saving I thought FFS this will take forever....but alas in time it didn't AND I thought signing for that 1st mortgage dump was like signing away for a million bucks back then.
My eldest son @ 25 is nearing his target with his girlfriend/wife sooner or later to putting down a deposit but I suppose they had no chance as well.
