Is anyone else out there sick of of so called Baby Boomers being blamed for the present housing situation. We bought a semi-detached house, with central heating in 1963 and paid £3,250.00 for it. For us it was a struggle to pay the mortgage with three young sons and me being at home with the children (my choice) We lived from hand to mouth, but were never in debt, did not have a motor car, rarely went out but to see friends and friends coming to see us. Holidays were spent at my brother in law and wife who lived in the country, for which we gave them our housekeeping money for the week .We were happy and did not grumble, just got on with it hoping that one day things would improve, and they did. Neither my husband or myself had any new clothes for three years, but we were happy with our lot. We could not afford to go out except to see friends or friends and their children visit us. It seems to me that these days many young people expect to have everything without much effort. At one time the interest rate on mortgages was 14% but we managed to pay it.
