Try being a couple then. Your parents couldn't afford a house on their own either.
They most certainly did lol.
Single-income households aren't some long lost relic of the ages. Plenty of people have living parents that prospered during that time.
I bought in 2005-ish. Even though I had a decent job, I wouldn't have been offered a mortgage big enough to afford anything describable as a house on my own.
I can't imagine much has changed since then, and it wasn't a new thing. Women weren't seen as stay at home housewives in 2000.
We're not talking about 20 years ago ya dingus
Also, don't assume nothing has changed, because they most certainly did
Sorry, I didn't realise 20 years wasn't long enough ago to spunk out a whiny gen Z-er.
They're talking about the 90s and prior, and really are talking about the 70s and prior
Exactly. My parents bought on a single income.
Why do you assume you're talking to 20 year olds
Are 20 year old not "people in their 20s"?
You must be young...... lol
Ok? Congrats to you. Turns out you're not who's being talked about right now, as shocking as that may seem.
Ok boomer
My father was the only one who worked, in a trade. My mother just stayed home, she had no income. I do the same trade as he did, my money does not go as far. I'm almost 40 and can't afford a house. My father bought one with the same job as me when he was 28. Oh and I took your shit advice anyway and have a SO and it's still out of reach.
