Obviously I get your point regarding the housing market being the country's unhealthy national obsession, but I'm just pointing to the fact that students are awash with funds if they want them, that they can translate into something better than a night at the pub.

I personally know a youngish couple that inherited a house from boomer parents, so what did they do? Did they move in and live for free?Originally posted by Zero Liability View PostObviously I get your point regarding the housing market being the country's unhealthy national obsession, but I'm just pointing to the fact that students are awash with funds if they want them, that they can translate into something better than a night at the pub.
No, they wanted two new "his and her Audis", some holidays in Australia and Disneyland, a 90 inch HDTV to show off to their friends, new iPhones and iPads, etc.
So they sold it under market value to a "We Buy any House" company and now rent it back from them, effectively being rent slaves forever.
