I do find it funny that that generation is always complaining that they can't afford a house, the 'boomers' have it all etc etc .... how do they think we got there? We worked stupid hours, in crap jobs, for crap companies, whilst living in rented shared housing during the early years of our careers to get where we are now. Problem seems to be that the current generation want it all now, and don't seem to think they have to work for it.
I've lived in some pretty sh*tty places and worked feck loads of hours. Maybe some of these kids need to moan less, and work more
We can cite the same scenario from miners, fabric workers and whomever else we wish from 100 years ago, but they died young and there should be zero respect for people who throw themself into damaging work that will shorten their life or severely reduce the quality of life for the sake a job, a job that does not define you. You define you.Comment

If you personally know any they are grateful that they weren't stuck in a houseshare during the pandemic, and were either already at home or could move home."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I was happy to give a sum toward the deposit. But that was to shift the mortgage into a lower interest rate overall, and we had the cash free. Interestingly, my daughters had to sign a document allowing part of their inheritance to be given away to their brother for this to happen. Swiss law can be a bit weird.Comment

But what if that was never going to be part of their inheritance? You might have divvied up your estate in an entirely different way.
I don't know about Switzerland but I am aware some countries force you to give your estate equally to all your children and you can't write them out of your will."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
