They also found that we Gen Y’s are:

  • increasingly driven to save for their first purchase,
  • making lifestyle sacrifices to save money for property,
  • most likely to cut back on alcohol-related spending,
  • change jobs for higher income,
  • take on an additional job
  • delay having children in order to save for a deposit.

In other words, we have to work very very hard and put off parenthood just to get a house because prices are so high and unaffordable and even then we’re not living in them.
