I just bought my first flat at 27. Cost 70 grand. I've worked 2 jobs for 6 years. Been very hard and I question if it was really worth it. Although it's nice to spread my payments over a longer term and relax a bit more. It's really hard because everyone offers "advice" but most of it feels just patronising. That's the bit that hurts. There's a big emotional difference in eating beans on toast because you love a childhood throwback vs eating it as a necessity. |
