Both my dc bought their own houses at 23 AMA

[joezoealfiecasperoli]

I hear a lot about this generation not getting on the property ladder and it is a big problem. I was amazed when both dc finished uni, got jobs and bought houses within 2 years of graduating.
To avoid drip feed
Yes they are mortgaged
They both bought with partners

I don’t think people are being mean

it’s clearly a humble Brag and she doesn’t realise why other people in other areas haven’t managed to buy property, she’s completely out of touch with the privileged position her kids were in to buy a house (which is great) to those that couldn’t live with parents or have help with a deposit

it’s great her kids are doing well but this post screams ignorance to any other people’s situation though I don’t think it was intentional

That's a lovely post. 😘

From one extreme to the other!

I was responding to the poster(s) saying people were giving op an unnecessarily hard time, she was right to be proud. She didn't come to say she was proud, she came to do an ama, which comes across as you don't know what to do, my kids managed it, I can tell you how.

What was your question? On an AMA?

I agree with you....l know a few people who have moved from the south to the north, saying they get so much more for their money....and, people are more polite and friendly. Don't have a good at me for my last sentence, it is only what l have been told

House prices are at the low end in Rotherham and Barnsley so easier to do than a lot of areas

Have you read the thread?

I guess not bothering to read a couple of simple paragraphs explains why you think the personal experience of you and your family is a better reflection of reality than actual statistics gathered from the whole of society.

Why so personal?

What’s personal about it? Have you actually understood the point?

Again personal. Are you ok?

Yes, can you explain what’s personal?

Maybe some savings but not enough for a deposit if they've been only working for 2 years (presumably if they've been at uni until 21)

Maybe you're just ill mannered.

Some people work whilst in uni and not everyone goes to uni so it’s not unusual they may have savings

This is the problem. I started FT work when I was 18 and I was a late starter. I still can't believe that people START work in their mid 20s then wonder why they can't save.

Then you have the ones on this thread that "needed" a gap year and then several years "travelling", then bleat that they can't buy a house.

Priorities!

Still no explanation then?

No. Lost interest in a boring personal number of posts. I would have answered if you hadn't name called me.

Because that's where the money is.

Well done to your DD @magismarta

I would hate to be so obsessed by money.

This is why the SE and London are, in my opinion, like Sodom and Gomorrah.

No offence to anyone living there.

But, imo, this thread shows that some of the residents are completely obsessed with status and income.

It shows in the envy of people who do better with far less income plus have time for their children, and in the blaming the vulnerable for situations outwith their control.

It's unhealthy.

I am not blaming people with normal incomes who live there and take people as they find them. They're the most healthy.

But this thread has shown me how lucky I have been to live where I live.

And I'm further "North", than the people who have been disparaged on here.

I think there is more than just money, there are a lot of benefits to living in The South East.

What did I say? I haven’t name called. Are you confusing me with someone else?
