| 9 | What on earth is WRONG with kids getting a helping hand from their parents? Is it just sour grapes and jealousy from those who make spiteful comments, because they didn't have the same help? Does that mean no-one else who is able to help their kids should be able to do so? It isn't a matter of spoiled entitled brats - it is possible for parents to help their kids financially while at the same time teaching them the value of things, and responsibility. My parents did that for me, and we have done it for our kids. They both still work very hard for everything they now have, and it was our pleasure to get them started. Good on those boys, and good on those parents. kitty179 - 2021-11-13 20:11:00 |

$333 each per week for 15 months = $43,000 Its really no harder to aave & buy a house now than it would have been for me during the 1980's. It was only possible during the later 1990's but a fully dedicated effort ( with a much higher return ) during the late 80's & early 90's would have been possible. Someone i know just bought his house after saving from scratch for 3 years. marte - 2021-11-14 02:56:00 |
| 12 | Yes, well done, but there's much more to look at before the "anyone can do it" crowd starts spouting off. For a start, if they were doing this today, their chances would be half of what they were last month. sparkychap - 2021-11-14 07:53:00 |

nothing wrong with it in itself. when you have a "look at me anyone can do it" story, when really its someone with parents wealthy enough to give them a hand, they effectively work 2 jobs each, and even then it takes two of them combined to buy a house. tweake - 2021-11-14 12:55:00 |

| 20 | What a society we live in. Where buying a house and being young is worthy of a news article. sw20 - 2021-11-14 20:13:00 |
