    My god OP - arent you on the Woe Is Me waggon? Sounds like all youve been doing is reading the papers and sinking in how terrible it is for the young people of today - you dont have a job that pays enough, you cant buy a house etc etc

    Buying property and renting it out is a business just like any other. Dont like renting from a landlord? Live with your parents for the rest of your life or buy your own.

    Im 28 - have owned a house since i was 23 and have just upsized to a new one. Im on an average wage and am savvy enough to save up for a deposit. Maybe you should do the same. No one is stopping you doing anything except you. If you cant buy a house in the best area of town then youll have to do like the rest of us and settle for an area that you can afford.

    Stop blaming everyone else and take some responsibility

    I feel a tent is your only option, maybe £24.95 from Argos.

    Don't be silly, I heard Argos buy those tents for a certain amount but then make you pay more than that for them, so they can make a profit out of you just because you need a tent! :mad:

    I think you should make your own tent, instead of paying the mortgages of the argos-owning classes.

    .

    Oh, god, I've just realised how evil I am. I'm a serial owner of tents.

    I've got 3. I've still got my 20 year old pup tent, my partner moved in and already owned a dome tent, but we then selfishly splurged on one with a porch as we moved somewhere much wetter and its nice to have some storage space for cooking and drying.

    I've just gone and pushed up the price of tents for the OP!
  • Jowo - sounds like you should start your own business - 'rent a tent'
