I found it easy, just took a long time. UK has got a fairly good minimum wage though, £12.21/hour now. Think it’s a little better than when I was saving (adjusted for inflation) too.
2 of us, got a semidetached bungalow for £230k on the south coast.
Comment on The Typical First-Time Homebuyer Is Now 40 Years Old, a Record High
Agent641@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoIt’s extremely hard. I bought a house by myself last year, but I had the fortune(?) of living rent free in a van for 3 years while I saved as hard as I could. I was also working 2 jobs, 7 days a week, earning about $145k a year. And it’s one of the cheapest houses in the area, a relatively small block. Now I only work 6 days a week. The value of my house has already gone up by 18%, in one year that I’ve been here. It’s madness.

Was that your van parked down by the river?

Absolutely none of what you just said makes any sense… However, I’m glad that you’re finally in a home.
