The bottom 8% earners can't buy a house, and I'm not sure they've ever been able to really, because they don't earn enough. It's that simple isn't it? So I guess they have to live at home, buy with someone(s) else or rent a room somewhere. The other 92% of people who earn more than them will rent and buy all the property.

And that's forgetting the proportion of the 8% who pair up... we all know a shared bed is half the price

It's not up to me to suggest where people should live, but if I had my way everyone would live wherever they wanted to live. But we don't live in a utopia. I'm just passing my comment and opinion where people can live in this real world.

According to this article 8% of the adult workforce were on minimum wage in 2007 and I presume it's something similar now, so we're not talking a huge amount of people. The bottom 8% earners can't buy a house, and I'm not sure they've ever been able to really, because they don't earn enough. It's that simple isn't it?

You go on to say that your friend can't afford a room in a house, but he probably can. If he earns just over a grand a month then I'm sure he can rent a room for £200 or £300 a month somewhere. You can rent a room in a nice 2-bed flat in most city centres for that, so if you're in a town or suburb he should be fine. Where does he live?

Your friend has a number of options:

• Find a way to earn more;
• Buy or rent a place with one or more people;
• Rent a room in a house or flat;
• Do nothing and stay where is at his parents.

So basicaly what you are saying is those who are on £6.08 per hour are in the 5hit, but the thousands of other people on £6.18 per hour are doing just fine ?

Do you read my posts very fast ?

jimmy i know after repeatedly answering your questions over your 'minimum wage 50 year old friend' that you are the lowest of the low on a laugh over other peoples hardships. Fact is a man in and out of work could easily rent a bedsit no matter what age. Youre full off ssss mate.

hypocrite.

Eh? I don't understand your point.

I think someone on or around minimum wage can't borrow the money to buy a house. £6.18 is still around minimum wage. I think that is what it is, you think it's some massive social injustice that should somehow be dealt with.

Jimmy, it doesn't matter. If you earn £6 or £7 an hour and in and out of work you're can't buy a house on your own. That's all I was saying. You feel that's a major problem in society, I just think it is what it is. The very poorest earners will always struggle to buy a house on their own, no matter what period of history you're in. Surely you can see that?

Oh good God, Jimmy lad get a grip of your senses boy. Clearly reading and being indoctrinated by HPC is bad for your soul and you are the classic example. If a laborer works in and out of work only earning the bare minimum when he does, why the hell does that entitle hime to owning a property. As already stated, if the banks don't lend to such characters, then why don't you. PATHETIC.

Welcome back reweird, I think you missed a few of my posts but I really would appreciate your wise manly input on this one?



Your smart answer for this would be nice too.



As for:



Surely you would starve? :rotfl:

Well the OBVIOUS answer to your questions was OBVIOUS to all, even you if you'd care to listen and learn without mummy. A real man would have stood on his own two feet 8 years before you even try to proudly claim you'll move of of mom and pops. 8 years of independent living, and ball growing more than you. And 8 years less leeching a living off of the backs of others. It's particularly shameful that this needs repeatedly spelt out to you day in day out.
