I have to agree with most Gen Ys when they say it is harder to afford mortgage repayments on your own.
thats not a generation thing, its just plain logic, if you have 2 people contributing, everything is easier!
Wouldn't be able to travel overseas very often but maybe that's the problem these days - we have too many options and see all of our friends doing fun things living their life!
Bloody hell, travel overseas often??? that made me laugh
the sense of entitlement in todays people ESPECIALLY the young ones make me laugh!
yes when I was saving everything like a crazy idiot, I went and rewarded myself for a CHEAP budget overseas holiday every 3 years, but it was worth it
no , I didn't have foxtel, no I didn't have an iphone or iphone equivalent, no I didn't rack up $100s of phone bills per month and complain about it, I went out, but Iwent cheap, I bought all the cheap stuff, I shared a 3 bdr house that had 4 people in it. i drove a crappy car.
What makes anybody under 25 for example think that they should, have to and is entitled to travel overseas!!!
my elderly parents are fully retired and could do a round the world trip every 3 months if they wanted to , but they only do it once every couple of years!, and NO , they don't have foxtel , they don't see the justification of it, plus their mobile cost them $40 from safeway OUTRIGHT!
geez, grow a pair people
