You caught the property wave pre 2000.Originally posted by sasguru View PostI'm only slightly older than you. Early 40s
You're a boomer.

So where did it all go wrong for you?
Ps the word Boomer is applied to people who were born post war not in the 70s. ffs at least use the term properly, or does it mean anyone who is more successful than you?Hard Brexit now!
