Of course you can be happy about that, and want the same opportunities for yourself, your children and other people in general.All feels a bit bucket of crabs tho.
Can’t I be happy my parents moved from working to middle class and want to be able to do it myself?
Just give me affordable housing, a fair wage, and a reasonable shot at a healthy pension.

But it is an unfortunate fact at this moment that they had those opportunities and the current generation don't. And it's likely the future generations will have even less.
You've already told us that your daughter lived with you rent free so not comparable with the average person who has rent etc to pay.One of my children is 30 and buying a £300,000 house - her boyfriend who has no degree earns £32k a year and started saving at 16 has a £100,000 of savings so yeah they can

We’ve been here before.
The plural of anecdote isn’t data. Its objectively harder to build wealth for Millenials and younger than it was prior.

it isn’t data no but people generally now get married far later than before and have children far later and of course If you are in a family home until your late twenties you are going to accumulate substantial savings
Anyone who charged their children rent are fucking weird to be honest
And if you want/have to move for your career? Or your parents decide to downsize or move?
Saying people with wealthy parents do well isn’t that great of a flex. You shouldn’t need to be an exception to build a life and a family.
Does it still apply if it was a single-parent household and the rent actually helped out?
I’ve always thought in an ideal situation I’d have kid(s) pay rent but stick it into savings so when they’re ready to move out there’s a nice little treat.
My parents were dirt poor and left me nothing
Always payed my mum rent as did my siblings when they lived at home. Cheapest living of my entire adult life, got all my meals, washing done, always hot water etc. My mum was a single working mother earning less than myself or any of my siblings once we’d finished our apprenticeships. We used to have a word for it, what was it again? Oh yeah… family. Broken Britain hey, looking after family makes you a weirdo.Does it still apply if it was a single-parent household and the rent actually helped out?

It's not even especially relevant to the discussion really.Anyone who charged their children rent are fucking weird to be honest
Well yes I had to pay my old man £500 a month when I lived with himAnyone who charged their children rent are fucking weird to be honest
In 2017 my first teaching contract paid £22k, having also had to pay £9k for tuition fees to train.Also the fact we think £30k average wage is fine is ridiculous. My first job out of Uni in 2002 paid £27k. Across the board wages have been suppressed. The only debate is are Brits especially lazy, British firms especially tight, or British government particularly bad at supporting productivity improvements.
Tbf you haven't confirmed or denied there whether he's fucking weird or not.Well yes I had to pay my old man £500 a month when I lived with him
You’re older than 45
Maybe so but at 22 I had no job no car no nothing. I worked for a company for nothing and walked there and back every day to get a job. Sorry I don’t think many people now would do that
Also my first property was a dump and I bought second hand shite furniture from charity shops which again people of my age then would moan about now
British Gas now charging us £3000 a year for gas and electric. Two people who aren’t even really in the house most of the time, it’s madness.Honestly mate, people haven’t suddenly got lazier or more wasteful. This is every generations claim and it’s never true. House prices and the cost of living really have got out of whack with wages historically.
You need to be shopping around more, I've got it to 60 a month currently.British Gas now charging us £3000 a year for gas and electric. Two people who aren’t even really in the house most of the time, it’s madness.

We’ve been on £250 for about 5 months and they’re about to reduce it to 200.Yeah that’s definitely not right. Me and the other half have had sub-£100 bills for the last 3-4 months.
Av/Cap should be about 170 per month I think. Is this due to Mrs BSB controlling the thermostat ???
*not sexist, just noted over the years that a lot of women want temp ridiculous high ! A mate said last winter him and his missus have their thermostat at 27 !!!! Wtf… mines at 18-19 !
Banning the breed will do little, we've been here before so it's just adding another breed to the list and will end up with well trained and well behaved dogs being seized and killed. Another dog will take the XL bullys place and before you know it the same discussion will be taking place about another breed.After another death yesterday, Sunak announces that XL Bully dogs are to be banned by the end of the year.
Good.

Need to get to grip with the issues around poor breeders and owners.
I agree with you. Can't see who outside of chavs and wannabee gangsters would want to own one of these child shredding machines anyway.I agree that owners are probably the biggest issue. But this breed in particular is incredibly dangerous and regardless of how many well trained dogs there are, they should not be on the streets. I think the ban is absolutely right, even if it's just kicking the can down the road.
