More housing propaganda on 12:48 - Jul 17 by monytowbray
Because the borrowing amount isn't the issue. It's the money needed up front to get on the ladder that serves as the major blocking factor for young people to become home owners. Many young people are already paying rents and in secure employment but don't have £15-20k kicking about spare. That's not a small amount of money to save. 71% of the UK earn that or under a year.
This article spins the "WELL SHE'S YOUNG AND MAKING SACRIFICES AND SHE'S DOING IT" angle when the reality is she's not making any sacrifices - she's just paid very VERY well (in the 3% highest earners bracket FYI) and her concept of a "sacrifice" is stuff most normal people will never afford.
Ask lots of questions, don't eat the Bullsh1t.
Completely unrelated, but nice Hey! Hello! nod there.
I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

Plenty of them in derby and presumably many other cities and towns
Bloo is resurrected. Long live Bloo.
Seriously Truce, you've been all kinds of strange on here lately! Stay out of the sun man!

Move to somewhere with low employment prospects and minimal transport links, problem solved!
Errr...
Somewhere like Gary, Indiana might work nicely.

So to clarify i say something, you say it cant be true and ask me to prove it and when I do so you call me names and say i am being strange.
Sound accurate? Perhaps you should follow your own advice and stop pointing fingers and sniping and live in the real world a bit more.
You proved nothing bud. You linked to a 40% equity share on a one bedroom flat.
Have another go!

That cupboard that he's linked is only a 40% equity as well. So you'd need a 60 or so grand top-up mortgage to buy the whole damn thing. And then there's associated legal fees, surveyors, moving expenses as well. For someone who claims to know about these things, Fishers seems curiously naive as to the real cost of things that initially appear to be a money-saver.

At a stoke, truce disproved his own point.
You could get a house where there is a poor job market and minimal affordable transport links, lose the job you needed to afford the house, become homeless and die.
Those are the sacrifices my generation made and you don't see me complaining or blaming everyone else for being lazy.
