Do millenials ever stop to consider how ludicrous it is that most are paying more in rent each month than they would if they had a mortgage on the same property? They're working to pay off their landlord's mortgage, funding their lifestyle. All for the sake of a mortgage deposit.

I was going to say, plenty of Gen X in the same position. I could have bought a house with the money I've paid in rent. I'm 50 and will never have a forever home. And purely anecdotally, millenials think about it all the time.

Also, people older than millennials who are getting divorced and realising that these days they can't buy a new home on a single income, or in some places, rent one.

Gen X here. Same position. And yes, ofc we think about it! We need politicians to change things, not send weird tweets about it.

Another GenX here who'll never own her own home.

I thought the same! Like he’s having a go at millennials, but they just inherited this ludicrous situation

Probably could have been better expressed, but it was late and off the cuff, and it's provoked an interesting series of replies so I'll roll with it.

I was more questioning why millennials haven't launched a revolution over it, than punching down on my own generation for being exploited. It's amazing that it's not more central to our discourse given there were riots over tuition fees going up not that long ago.

X here, only got a deposit for a house because of some savings plus money my parents earmarked for such PLUS having a partner with a dead relative they inherited from. And millennials rarely have even that lifeline.
