I know young people say its so hard to save the money to get a mortgage. I'm not saying it isn't, and fuck me do I think London's over priced and sorry to say over rated. As people though don't we waste a load of money? Speaking with my brother today and his saving with his missus for a mortgage. Just made me think when he said he'd like to get about 40k. Him and her could of easily saved 5k a year each when living at home. Still had a decent life as well I'm not saying eat nothing but rice and beans and never go out. Just cut back on stuff and be a little stricter and tbh money they earn they wouldn't even have to do that anyway. If they went bit more strict and really wanted too they could easily of banked 10k each and had the money needed in just two years. Must be able to because they are renting private now while saving and paying out 1300 on rent alone before any bills. Still living the exact same it seems in that they eat out often and brother has a good sesh every now n then.
I'm guilty of it myself though tbh just wasting money when I have it. Talking with him today I'm gonna try change it and just make sure each year I'm finishing with a set amount. Nothing mental and out of this world either, something that's realistic. My mates will say its not even a lot but then three or four years time I bet they won't have it saved. The mates of mine who are straight anyway.
