My poor DD got the choice and that's what she wanted.

That is so unfair- your poor daughter.
You might not have anything to leave after care fees but you poor daughter gets nothing- it is not the same leaving to her sons as leaving to her.

I bet she will be th one managing the POA and doing all the caring as well.

The 2 sons need to pay it back through a manageable payment plan and then split 3 ways so £20k each.

Plus there will be plenty of money for all DC to inherit including our 6 bedroom house, a 7 holiday home in France and a property portfolio of btl houses in company name. Also, I my youngest son will be one with POA as he lives only 3 miles away.

And young people apparently can’t afford homes because they have too many coffees… what chance do they have when people hoard properties?

And there was me thinking I couldn't buy house because I'm ot earning enough to pay rent and save for a deposit because costs are so high and wages haven't gone up. Silly me!

28 is late to start saving for a deposit. I'd saved mine by that age - and whilst renting. Where is all his salary going?

In your 20s most people can slum it by living in a cheap house share and save most of their salary. It gets harder to save once you hit your 30s and have a family and/or want a higher standard of living.

Well, bully for you but not all of us have a nice linear trajectory in life and are able to save an entire house deposit before 28.

I've searched previously for houseshares. There were two available each time and once there was a third with a very creepy man.

I don't hoard them. I let them out to people to live in.

Some might say you should read an article before commenting on it.

I'm one of them.

I'm one of them.

I don't care what Gove says. He's a prick of the first water, and that's enough for me.

I bought my house alone at 22 in 2022 and it was incredibly hard work, I had to work full time while studying since I was 18. Worth it though.

I feel really bad for most people my age.

The article is not about Michael Gove, or what he says. As you would realise if you had bothered to read it.
