"Why don't you just save for a mortgage, it's cheaper than renting"
Okay, here we go... As a single person in The UK this is the situation for a lot of people.
Most people in The UK are on minimum wage and full time monthly wage after deductions is around £1700
Rent: £800 (this is the very low end), Council Tax: £190, Electric: £80, Water: £40. £590 left. Just to live somewhere.
Food: £250 a month and that's been generous. £340 left.
Car insurance and fuel for getting to work: probably another £200. £140 left
Phone bill: £50. £90 left
WiFi to make life bearable £40. £50 left.
This is best case scenario, you have no unexpected bills or things to pay out. So say you have £50 left to save every month, that's £600 a year. You probably still wouldn't have a deposit in 20 years.
Apparently we've got it easy though, says a generation who could buy a house and raise a family from a one income minimum wage job.
We live in a country where minimum wage doesn't even meet minimum living requirements. We're done.

Folk fighting in the stands, boys spewing in the street, performance like that, 2 woman lifted for scratching each others faces and a boy on the bus shat in the clearly taped off toilet and stunk the full place oot.
Absolute shambles of a day and possibly put me off going back.
Can I ask a massive favour from home and away fans at Fir Park this Saturday to do a minute applause at the 26th minute to remember my boy and our warrior Zac Gunn 🧡🦁

Every time I get caught without a ticket on public transport I give my ex's name and address. I ended up paying for every date anyway, let him lose some money now
