  1. I haven’t heard of the group generation rent before. That sounds like a really good thing to get into. I am a student at University. Well, actually I just graduated in July but still feels like I’m a student as I’ll still be continuing my studies in my spare time around the University. I I am down in Falmouth Cornwall and and for third year my house price was so much more than it had been for the previous year with even lower quality property.I’m now wanting to rent with other people for an additional year or so until I can get a full-time job in the industry I want to be in, but the rent prices are still just going up and you don’t know whether you can afford to be picky or not when you want to be able to liveComfortably for the first time fully away from home. And plus with all the energy bills skyrocketing, you really don’t have many options and you don’t know whether to go for a house that is expensive with the bills tied in, or property that’s cheaper and take the risk with the energy bills separately. They are skyrocketing way too fast for anyone to be able to afford, and you know the landlords are still making a profit on the houses so they shouldn’t be racking them up like this for security, not considering the young people they are affecting. There needs to be a freeze on the increase in property prices, especially before December or a reset. And most definitely more energy bills for young people. At least an exception for a few years if they can improve their circumstances and monetary levels. Considering the overall age demographic in the country, the energy companies can afford to take the hit.

  2. Here here. A lot of us who are born later from the baby boom generation don’t seem to realise just how hard it is. Japan is basically a head of this with many people staying at home in their late 20s, 30s or even 40s because they just can’t work in outside society anymore or could afford the rent prices with the low paying jobs. Britain can face the same thing if we are not careful. All our parents keep going on about is us getting on the property ladder to eventually ‘buy a house’ or even get married and have kids.It’s absolutely laughable. Many of us to actually have a saying head on her shoulders laugh at the idea of being able to achieve a lot of those, let alone all of them. Perhaps 10 years ago, but not so easily now. We need to prioritise and unfortunately buying a house with a married partner or having kids is really not one of them. Not unless you really really wanted to work. Many of us who want to get a good paying job, need to be able to get PhD is or at least bachelors degrees, along with sometimes two years experience, which isn’t even achievable if you can’t get a job, in order to get the job you want to start out at that will actually pay a wage where you can live even comfortably in the first place. The stands now too high for too little. and yet, we still have to try. That is the determination here. Of course, we are doing this whilst also facing the danger of climate change. It feels like all of this is designed to distract us to make sure we don’t act. We will still have to take sacrifices going forward, and make sure a lot to think about ourselves, in exchange for the destruction of our natural world. there is a way to fix our energy bills at least, but it means taking a big dent to your finances short-term rather than long-term, in order to receive long-term goals. Basically the difference between short-term big pain, or a little pain stretched out over a long period of time. Kind of like a reverse difference of the instant versus long-term reward study. we need to be able to take the big hit now, in order to have long-term prosperity. It’s just up to us individually to find the best plan that works.

  3. That’s why the idea of me actually borrowing a feels for me is laughable. I barely have a place to live as it is going forward in September now that I graduated from university, so really renting, getting a part-time job and securing that and having a place of calm stability whilst I do more studying in my own time is the only way I can see going forward before going into an industry that is a full-time job. Believe going forward, I’ll still be renting. At least then I can freely move whenever I want if I get the right contract and I’m not responsible for maintenance. might try and buy a house Sunday, but that might not honestly be until I’m in my late 30s or maybe even early 40s. And honestly, I might not even do that in this country. By the looks of the prices, Japan is far more affordable. And yes, I hear the irony there.

  4.  @colinhill9439  That is absolutely terrible. I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I really hope you are able to find at least somewhere temporary to stay until you get another job.

  5. Here here. I’ve just graduated from university and based on the current prices, I would like to be working a near full-time job during the week to cover rent, still barely giving me enough time to keep up my personal studies before I am truly ready I feel to go into a full-time industry job that I want. After all that calculated in plus bills and amenities and the average Weekly/monthly rent prices here in the south, Southwest and west, I would barely have over £100 saved up per month. Everyone really should be looking at getting benefits where they can. It can make the world of difference. but now though, some of our best options are either to just leave the country for awhile, or just try and use as little energy as possible. For that, a lot of us really should be considering at least getting temporary at home solar panel installations.
