The issue with millennials are that they have been very slow to settle. Instead of marring young, combining resources and working towards a deposit. They've woken up in their mid 30s with zero investments, zero family, and 15 years of hard work with nothing to show for it! I think alot are panicking.

Absolutely no security. The landlord can kick you out whenever they want. Families with children are becoming homeless. Renting is a terrible situation in modern Britain l.

Boomers were the post war generation. I suppose it was not difficult to make money when everything started out as rubble and the only way would have been up.

 @Ellis-Tor Life is hard, and every choice offers risk. But talking as a millennial who didn't really wake up until his early 30s, marriage is 1 million times better than the alternatives.

@ankavoskuilen1725 We extended our childhood. But we had plenty of opportunities. Cheap uni fees, a housing market at the bottom of the cycle, help to buy schemes and help to buy ISAs. Honestly, buying a property was perfectly feasible!!

 @Ellis-Tor ...if you had used the help to buy scheme as a millennial in the 2010s and bought a house worth £120 000 you would have made over £100 000 profit today!!

@LizThomas-dp7sr I spent barely anything on education or health care. I went to a comprehensive and use the NHS. My uni fees were only £1250 a year. The house i live in has a mortgage. But it was bought with a small deposit and help to buy in the early 2010s. It has increased in value by £150 000. I am virtually mortgage free. I am a millennial.
