  1. It's not the same world your parents bought you into. And that you think that way suggests you don't have the personal finance knowledge you need. Sorry, but you can't step into the same river twice. The economy is very, very different, and lifetime employment is no longer a given. You need to have a realistic plan, and understand the direct and indirect costs of your ambition. That means making a financial plan based on present and future spending for saving and investing. You can't wing it now, because graduates getting paid minimum wage is a thing. And there are no guarantees. You have to organised. Learn how about, savings and investing in a tax efficient way. And the costs if buying a home and the costs of maintaining. For example, Tejvan's told us he had decided to extend the duration if his mortgage, because mortgage costs were accelerating ahead of his earnings. Instead of finishing paying in 30 years, he's looking at 40 years. Another thing, when Boris Johnson was prime minister he was discussing with the mirtgage industry the introduction of intergenerational mortgages, where the outstanding debt that remains is passed into your inheritors after your death. Google it, and just think why that was being discussed in government. The world is changing, and will still change faster than you know. You need to learn about how to make your money work as hard as it can, and protect yourself as well. You cannot afford to be complacent. You need to know how to do that. I hope you are checking out decent UK personal finance channels and people like Martin Lewis, and researching what you need to do, because you'll need to be ahead of the curve. If you can afford ut, subscribe to Which? Money magazine published by the Consumer Association. A sub gets you not only the magazine that is full of savings, investment, and personal finance advice, but gives you access to advice services as a perk. Good Luck I hope your dreams come true. With luck, the right knowledge, and the right help you can do it. 👍
