I'm sorry to hear that. Inviting input from groups like yourselves and then not following through on it can often be worse than not inviting contributions in the first place. There are individuals with good intentions but there hasn't been much systemic movement.

On the one hand that's good news as I'm in the "right" career already. On the other hand I was hoping for some other career suggestions too, given the precarity in the academic sector right now(!)

It takes a weight off your shoulders when you own your own home (with a mortgage). Also there's no longer mould everywhere, as was the norm when renting.

It all highlights how skewed our country is though - standard of living is very much linked to how much property you or your family owned prior to the rapid inflation of house prices. Two above-average salaries are not necessarily enough to own a home these days.

I'm mindful that I'm in a relatively privileged position compared to many other millennials - I'm not renting and my parents benefited from the housing boom (and passed these benefits on by supporting me financially).

I'm here feeling excited about getting my mortgage down to a 20 year term with two good salaries and no children. Meanwhile when my parents were my age they'd paid off the mortgage on a whole house with one good salary and two children.
