Yeah, I don't understand the maths for the mortgage either, but it doesn't state their combined income. It may well be 70k or something in which case, big whoop that they bought a 265k house.
So, they were lucky in terms of having the level of income that can get them a fairly large mortgage at such a young age. At that age, I was a postgraduate students with large loans which is the position many young people who chose to study will be in (although I am sure Dazza and Shazza's advice is to ditch uni).
Their second piece of advice is to live at home and save money that would otherwise be spent on rent. Not an option for many. There were no postgrad jobs in the area I grew up in- I had no option but to move away to an expensive city. I also would not have been able to live at home rent-free and nor would I have wanted to.
Their other piece of advice was don't go on holiday to Florida and don't spend all your money on booze. Again, an insult to those on a low income and students. I didn't go on holiday anywhere until I was about 25 and could pay for it myself. I scraped by on about £7,000 a year as a student and worked during uni holidays. When I started my first job, my pay was not great and I had student debt to pay off. No way did I blow £100 in a night which is what they suggest that others their age do.
So basically, they just sound quite smug and put their luck down to 'hard work'. But they are perfect for the DM- traditional, hard-working, bashing other young people and making out they are irresponsible alcoholics. Perfect role models for all of Middle England.
Oh and I won't even say anything about the decor in that house... Needs updating? You don't say.
