@Calum letās jump this paedo cunt
Damn, looks like the boomers are right. We do spend money on needless stuffs which cumulatively will add up to a significant amount
American Hollywood liberals
If course see that idiot chopra is involved in this
Iām probably in the 200-500 range as I buy a coffee and lunch everyday at work for a start, youād say I could bring lunch from home but I just like it made fresh when Iām out in the field and donāt have facilities to store it in.
Iāve also got all sorts of pay TV that are also a luxury etc.
Shitā¦ weāre including coffee? Iāve vastly underestimated.
Iām not sure does coffee count ? I legit need it to get through my morning haha.
I hear that. Tho less so when I work from home. I know you donāt have that luxury.
This was my original point.
But the reality is that house ownership seems so out of reach for so many that they spend their money on little things that will bring them some measure of joy, because the bigger things in life feel beyond them.
Cutting out avocados and lattes isnāt enough to make house ownership seem much more viable for a hell of a lot of people.
The desperation from some people to deny that a different generation might just have it harder in some respects is just sad.
Boomers love to think theyāre the Greatest Generation without realising theyāre the most privileged and entitled generation to ever live.
Your chance will come lads to tell the next generation of how tough it was.
We had Thatcher as well. You had Blair.
As I said, everyone thinks that they know more than the older generation but that they are also wiser than than the younger generation.
But I donāt see how the boomers are more entitled or privileged than this generation.
Most people over forty would go to junior school with a pen and some books in a bag.
Kids now have mobile phones and any information they want on it.
Younger people now have considerably more luxuries than any previous generation and if you think it was easy to buy a house in the eighties or nineties, it really wasnāt.
You had to go without a lot of things to save up and afford it.
Iām not saying that house prices in certain areas arenāt high now but a lot of my friends moved away from the place they were brought up in, so they could afford to buy somewhere.
What ever time you grow up, you always think you have it harder than the previous generation, but in reality itās always easier no matter when it was.
Iāve got four parents/step parents who tell me it was easier for them than it was for their kids
Iām gonna have to say we to get more luxuries earlier in life for eg.
Eg my Grandparents arrived in Australia at 5 years of age or so and didnāt go back overseas until around 60 years of age on a holiday.
By the time I was mid to late 20s I had been to Europe twice, the states, Thailand and NZ. Not to mention lots of places within Australia.
To buy a house or in general?
Because looking for work in the eighties. along with more than four million unemployed and no minimum wage, if you could find a job, certainly wasnāt easier.
