You can say that to genX, but the bulk of genX’s kids are adults now (at least genX women aren’t having many more). We did have it easy. We got houses at prices that had only doubled in price in the time it took to raise a deposit. I bought my place for about $150k including the upgrades in 2001. The same place in worse condition now is worth 500k. The person I bought it off paid 67K in 1997
I dropped out of uni and stepped straight into an IT job
I met a partner through social contacts, a friend paired up with someone in their dancing club.
