We are currently researching an idea about how to help those of us priced out (including myself) get priced in - so to speak. As 80% of the country's wealth is held in the hands of the over 50s, as student debt spirals and pensions disappear, we think its time the older generation give today's young a helping hand.

This is like that discussion a while back from some woman who wanted her relatives' will to ignore everyone else in the family in favour of her two sons. I hope it will get the same response.

If you want to get on the housing ladder Sheila, you could always follow my example of being forced to leave school at 16 (no tuition fees in my day), learn a skill on £0.65 to £2 an hour, then work 12 hour shifts in a factory, while taking in lodgers, and almost never going out.

How dare those over 50s work hard all their lives and keep their own money? Kids have it so tough today.

It feels a bit like the end of the Roman Empire. The rich 25% of the world is living well, but it is impossible for the huge, poorly educated masses to achieve the same standard, the world just cannot take it.

I am poorly educated, started with a £1k deposit and a £76k mortgage in the early 90's and through hard work and common sense have built up a small property portfolio.
I wish everybody would stop making excuses and put more energy into making a plan to suceed

Is it just me, or is leaving messages on the Internet a lazy way of doing research?

You certainly get around Sheila.
