  9. Hi I hear a lot of comments from younger people re how we (I am 72) we’re so lucky to live in an era when we could easily afford to buy a house. My question is in my years we had to pay 10% ie 230 pounds and buy a house at £2300. I was an apprentice earning 15 pounds a week. We were courting for five years and had to stay nearly every nights no,holidays, no fast food, only luxury was pictures once a week. Is it that the economics hav not changed but young people like as (now Generally) like holidays abroad,, trendy clothes, 55 inch televisions, I pads, PlayStations AND live for free at home. (I paid my ma boarding money) I know things have changed but if young people did the same as my wife and I,do you think saving a deposit would be easily achieved. It’s the expectations of everything else society offers makes it difficult. Do you agree?
