The young deserve frack all, if they want something they need to earn it.

Why should the young have a 2 bed - we need 3 beds min so we can have a family. I think it's jealously on boomers part as the young are more clever now days, better education etc

If you were more clever you could speak proper. Better education?. Have you got a degree?.

I do have a degree, I studied media at a decent Uni. My wages are ok (not high or low).

If you want a house, holiday and good times you work for them…..bloody hard.

Of course you can have them all - just maybe not all at once.

It's called deferred gratification. It's about making choices. It's about priorities.

I chose the house first. The good times were free or low cost, the fancy holidays came last.

I'm just renovating a house, essential repairs first, then new bathroom. Looked at the budget today and decided to press on now and get the kitchen sorted - getting all the messy jobs done and out of the way.

My plumber gave me a figure for the work. My exact words to him were - "oh well, that's the cruise postponed then……."

Only the very rich can have it all at once. For the rest of us mere mortals - boomers included - it's all about making choices.

Better make sure my affairs are in order then. :rotfl:

You can get a two-bedroom flat here for £65k.

You can get a three bedroom here for that with a bit of cosmetic work needed!

At nearly 50 I have had seven 2 week holidays and one 1 week holiday. After thirty + years of work, I think I deserve a holiday.;)

I believe, if you posted the above seriously, that you are a troll.

You certainly have an inflated sense of self-entitlement.
