My Grandparents were council renters.
My parents bought their first house when they married (aged 25 and 19)
Their first car 4 years later.
I'm now 51 and STILL waiting to get onto the housing ladder, paying an ever increasing amount of rent monthly to keep a roof over my head, the only way I will, is when my parents die and, being an only child, the house will pass to me)
Driving? Ha, don't make me laugh, once bills are paid, I have about £80 left, there's no way I could afford to run a car on that.
I'm sure mine is not an isolated story, so I'm sorry, but whether I have reached my parents age or not, I KNOW I've not achieved as much as them, I don't need to get to their ages to have that confirmed.
