    really... love to see you prove that one...

    What misfortune? I don't have thousands because i havent had the chance to earn it yet. Or are we talking about sponging of parents here chuck?


    now that you mention it let me tell you some real facts not your forumonics or urban myth stuff that you seem to prefer...

    trolling

    70% of property is owner occupied - 40% of those don't have a mortgage...

    source?

    elitist?? i don't think so...

    More toons on here.

    I would love to hear your explanation how my generation can get money together without parental help.

    I thought you would shy away.

    If the average house price is say 200 000 noone could raise 20 000 for a deposit, if 10 percent is all that is needed without parental help.

    That is my point.

    easy there Mr Racist - trolling is when you make stuff up looking for attention, a bit like you're doing....

    i've given you facts but you choose to disbelieve them because you have a few bags potatoes on your shoulders...

    but here goes to see if you're bright enough

    here's the percentage of properties without a mortgage... it's over 40% more than i thought...

    55% buying with mortgage. Doesn't say how many ppl or as a % as a whole of the UK pop.

    racist? everyone is by your definition

    If that is reference to bnp, called freedom of speech.

    lol i dont think so.

    Being coy doesnt help.

    oh and you still havent answered this:

    I would love to hear your explanation how my generation can get money together without parental help

    more so in this job market.
    My opinion? better off having a large saving 'pot' instead and rent.

    I believe in the priced out theory.

    hey better than having a few hundred k bill.

    you obviously couldn't you work it out or knew how to use Google...
    the answer is that there are 9.5 million properties that are owned outright... it's a lot isn't it... probably more than you ever imagined...
    There are 11.7 million mortgages in the UK

    let me play with you some more... the average age of the FTB is lower now than it was in 1990... you're going to tell me that's not true aren't you... :eek:

    So I couldnt be bothered to google it?

    As for a lower age? so what? reckless lending maybe? repossessions. Arrears which your source states.

    play away lol
