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.

This is a really poorly phrased tweet given you’re in that exact position and demographic yourself, it makes more sense surely to ask if Gen X and aboveconsider that oddity Millennials have to endure if you’re making it a generational thing?

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.

But you’re a millennial! I think the “lack of a revolution” is about the lack of political power, exhaustion due to constantly working to cover rent, and the fact that precarity makes it hard. Plus, for some, parental wealth lifts them out of it.

I mean there’s a lot to say on it (literally finishing a book on it at the moment), but it is central to how politics works, and I think the reason why a lot of politicians talk very little about it is because such a huge number of people have been utterly shafted

And the question none of them want to even consider is what happens when the generation who had to pay tuition fees, who don’t own their houses and don’t have pensions reach retirement age.
