I guess you didn't benefit from a free university education and a mega cheap house? Imagine being saddled with, at the very least a £20,000 student loan debt and then having to get a deposit together for a house.

I wonder why they're a "moaning crying generation"?!

What's University? No one I knew ever went to University. I was brought up in a council house (8 months of that sleeping in an air-raid shelter, often with 6 inches of muddy water in when it flooded.) Left school at 15, started work at 15. Everything I have now, I worked for, except for the 2 years I spent on active service in Malaya doing National Service. The current young people have different problems but a bit of hard work will sort it.

But what about their student loans and new iPhones, you old people didn’t know you were born, you were given everything and just lay about having money thrown at you, while the young have had to put up with having holidays, cars, money. All you had to do was work for 50 years, you lazy b’stards........

I agree in present times, but there was nothing like that back when I and my wife were entering the housing market. It was save, save, save for a deposit that would result in getting a mortgage for the remainer.

And don't get me wrong, I feel for the younger generation in trying to get started in the property market. I think the greed of those who manipulate the market have no regard for the young people desperately wanting to get a place of their own.

I don't think much has changed in that regard. It's still a tough ask to save for a deposit, especially with house prices as high as they are and wages staying relatively constant. The situation will only worsen as an aging population hold onto property and the demand for housing outstrips availability.

Of course it will! Those people that work 60+ hours just to keep their heads a float are just bloody well lazy is all! You could have ended the Second World War and the Malay Emergency early if you pulled your finger out.

What I don't understand about this is if you had it so bad and you managed to succeed in spite of the circumstances that you had to overcome, and you clearly feel it was as you wouldn't go to lengths to describe how bad it was; why do you want other people to endure it as well?

There is something really odd about wanting the next generation to have it as tough as you..

I’m 50 and have had it not too bad , my dad grew up in conditions like those photographed and frankly worse so his life’s dream was for his kids to have more than him . I never experienced anything like that , not even close and had a great childhood although obviously not a life of luxury . My siblings are now in fantastic financial situations and I’m very comfortable, so I’m incredibly grateful my dad didn’t have that attitude. The next generation in our family are all again continuing that journey , as we all try and ensure they do better again . That’s been my view moulded by my dad , and my mum of course , so I totally agree with you I want people to have it better and to be able to better themselves .

This is the equivalent of posting a picture from the late 19th century saying 'life wasn't easy then either...but hey, we know how tough it is for you 20th century lot not having running water, functional sewerage systems and lack of cholera.

Indeed. Actually we didn’t think it was that bad at the time. Looking back at it, it really was. But that’s a bygone age.....
