Today's Guardian edition resonating with me on many a level.
If you were born in Europe or North America in the late 80's or in the 90's, it is unfortunately reasonable to assume the only way you own your house today is if a) you inherited it/capital transfer from your family or b) you payed way too much for a house because 1) there weren't enough of them (because boomers and generation Xers were already confortably resting by their fireplaces?) and 2) nobody cared due to interest rates being so low for so long.
A generation or two ago, by your mid-twenties you were probably already on "the ladder".
What happened to "council homes" and similar policies?
And how is this affecting our generation? Anxiety year-on-year due to housing (and financial) insecurity, resulting in curtailment of family and life plans.
