Randler posted:All mainstream finance articles about frugal millenials buying houses in their 30s have parental backing or inheritances involved. You can make a drinking game of counting how many paragraphs it takes for the buried lede to surface. The US has the same sort of lovely early retirement articles and the final paragraphs give away info that there parents gave them 200K for downpayment/free house to start their passive income slum lord empire.

And I will definitely be rich because I work hard!

Pistol_Pete posted:Yeah, there's no way a 27yr old buys a house in the uk in 2019 without some serious cash backing from their parents. Nah, there's loads of places that offer the "help to buy" scheme, especially new build shoe box estates. I know a couple of young lads who I work with who just got brand new 3 bedroom places on a new build estate and pay less than £500 a month mortgage. Not sure how that works but I have to admit I was pretty surprised at how cheap it was to get roped into a life of mortgage servitude.

Imo, all housing should be: - owner occupiers - council housing - uni students doing their year living in a damp, dilapidated terrace and attempting to maintain a weekly cleaning/ washing up rota And nothing else

the uk’s constitutional system is highly reliant on tradition/convention rather than written law. this all works well until someone with no regard for convention (or anything really) comes along like Boris.
