Perhaps I should have bought her a used car or vouchers for T K Max instead of money down on a house.
What you say makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Ultimately you and your kids end up with less overall.
I left school in 89, got £27.50 a week YTS and paid my mum £15 of that for board and lodgings. Same for all my mates. Some may have been paying as little as £10 but they all paid something.I remember when young people living at home were expected to pay 'board & lodging' which was often almost as much as they could earn.
I'm not talking a million years ago either but 1980s.
The housing issue is just simple supply and demand isn't it? The population is increasing and more people live. Yet social housing has been sold off and not replaced and the rate of building is appallingly slow while developers sit on huge banks of land. Then you have to add in the huge explosion in university attendance which has seen whole areas become house after house that's occupied by students.
Plus things like this
Number of holiday-let homes in England up 40% in three years
Traditional tourist areas of England have seen local people hit by soaring property prices.www.bbc.co.uk
Also the issue of what type of housing is available. Where I live, in Finham, there's a huge number of 2 and 3 bedroom properties occupied by 1 person. My Mum for example will consider moving to a flat but doesn't want to leave the area so its a non starter and she will spend the next few years the sole occupant of a large house. Was the same when I moved here, I don't really need a house, a flat would do me fine, but there's only a handful and of course they are mostly rentals.
I always been for people that aren't rich having more money.So you actually now think people should have more money and not less?
It's not that difficult.Perhaps I should have bought her a used car or vouchers for T K Max instead of money down on a house.

If we didn't have such a shit system whereby housing is massively overpriced because far too much of it is being used as a means for financial gain rather than as places for people to live, then maybe they'd be able to afford the deposit without your help. In which case the money you're currently having to use for that you could give to them in other ways.

Because I think about the bigger picture, have compassion for others, realise that there are many different reasons for people to be in their situations and not everyone has the same goal of making loads of money yet constantly get dictated to in policy by those that are.I wonder why

Have you at any point thought of the reasons why it grows more? Or whether that's a good situation?It’s rubbish though in this example as property grows more then any other investment so the house in 30 years will be much higher in value and that’s a good thing if you own property

It's a good thing if you own property, but that's becoming a smaller and smaller section of society and increasingly benefitting a smaller number of people hugely disproportionately. Property is no longer about having a place to live, it's about having an investment. This isn't a good thing.
But millions of people aren't you.It’s good for me
I don't know but I think it is unlikely. Not everyone is motivated by money and studies consistently show that over a fairly modest level extra weath doesn't make people any happier.Or you are jealous
I am later but a gave my mum half half my 5p something part time wages in 1997.I left school in 89, got £27.50 a week YTS and paid my mum £15 of that for board and lodgings. Same for all my mates. Some may have been paying as little as £10 but they all paid something.
So what should I have done instead ? The answer is absolutely nothing. You'd have done the same as me.But millions of people aren't you.
That doesn't stop the policy from being flawed though.So what should I have done instead ? The answer is absolutely nothing. You'd have done the same as me.
If you were being kind you would say her team don’t like her so deliberately screw her brief up to make her look stupid, then I remember that she’s Nadine Dorries and she doesn’t need help to look stupid.
Must have been a very surreal image. Could very easily have been mistaken for a horse noshing off an albino honey monster.

I paid board after a couple of years at work and my parents put it all in the bank and when I bought my first house they gave it me all back to spend on it, it was a nice surprise
That’s what I plan to do when the time comes.
What stay with Terry Gibson's parents' and get them to save you a deposit?
