That she can one day buy her own flat ?
Colleague is single and 39 years old with no kids. She has chronic illnesses, works but doesn’t earn enough to move out . We are in the south east which is ridiculously expensive. Yet I know she really wants to move out independently after seeing her sisters move into flats with partners. Her sisters wouldn’t be able to do it alone but the difference is they have partners who are much higher earners so have been able to do it even when they themselves are working very part time hours.
Myself and another colleague had lunch with her today and she said she has 60K in savings as tried to save every penny she has and doesn’t have much of a social life and no treats as she just wants to save. My other colleague said “With those savings you could in a couple of years buy a 1 bedroom flat outright”. Colleagues eyes lit up for the first time in ages but I can’t help but think this is giving her false hope. Aibu ?
