>>513090812Nope it's a 1 bed in Norwich just outside the city centre, it's a standalone thing not part of a complex. It's a regular sized flat it's not massive but then I'm just one person.
There is such a thing as a property ladder, getting on it means buying a starter home thats not like 4 bed with a garden and shit, and then after about 10 years your LTV hits about 75% and you can start eyeing long term homes. I bought about 8 years ago.
Saying "you bought in XXXX" is always the case, if you buy for whatever the starting price is now (it will be a bit more for equiv) then in 8-9 years if you're part of the convo and some kid whines that it was better back then...YEAH NO SHIT prices of homes APPRECIATE in value they literally always fucking have.
Vice versa the kids looking to buy today have much better wages. None of that matters at all unless you can save. Young people wont save then it doesn't matter what you do to the market, you'll always be fucked.
Someone else said in the thread, boomers has basically been used as a term for "older people" not really a specfic year of birth, EVERY generation has their "boomers" it's just older people who knew to save who are reaping the benefits of that.
