You cannot compare generations.

Oh, except to criticise one and other.
I grew up as poor as people got in those days. My parents were imbeciles. My father managed to get sacked from a storeman's job in the late 60's. I spent most of my childhood sleeping with fleas, cockroaches and mice. I went to 7 schools by the time I was 8 because they couldn't make the rent (they had already had the house repossessed). I used to get dropped at school at 7am freezing cold and alone. And when we finally got it good (pft, divorce and stepfather) it was an 8 square 2 bed house for the 5 of us.

Yep I know, I was there. Begging friends not to buy into the madness, so many lost their homes and life savings. Property is only expensive because people pay the prices. Sooner or later the music will stop..
