It’s hard work to save up. Some people can buy houses 18 & that’s bloody brilliant but others like me are closer to late 20s and feel like I can never get close to it.
Things pop up, savings have to be used elsewhere etc. And most people do need to pay board to who they live with so it’s not like we’re sat at home on piles of cash!!!!
I don’t rent as most houses are like crack dens Close to me but charged as if there palaces & I don’t want to pay 3/4 wages to live in somewhere that ain’t mine. I might be closer to mid 30’s before I can get a deposit especially at this given time with Covid.
Most banks still only allowing 15-20 percent deposits.
I’ve worked since 16, spent most my money on travelling so if I’m ‘pathetic’ to some well so what, Even if you have everything people will always judge. I work with people in their 40s who also still can’t afford to buy on their own.
It’s not always a black and white area there’s plenty grey in between.
mind I don’t have my parents or partners parents making my dinner. Also why she kept her job secret but revealed about working as dentist receptionist or something hahaha
Completed agree with this! I’m 26, live at home with my parents. My boyfriend moved into my family home during the first lockdown so we didn’t have to spend 4.5months apart. He pays my parents rent, as do I. We cook and clean for ourselves. We’re saving for a mortgage but I’m self employed, I haven’t been self employed long enough to have received any furlough or government grants or anything along those lines which has massively impacted the amount of money I’ve been able to save for the last 8 months. First lockdown I got a job at a crisp factory to keep on top of my bills.
I spent my younger years going out on the weekends and going on holidays, which of corse now I’m older and wiser I realise I should’ve been saving but I don’t regret a single second of any of it!
As for renting and saving for a mortgage why would you waste valuable money renting when you’re trying to save? It’s hard enough as it is to save up and pay bills without adding £1000+ a month on top of that!
Kirsty has a lot to learn, at her age you’d think she’d be a bit more in the know, but its entertaining to watch
