I was having a similar discussion with my wife yesterday.
I'm pretty frustrated at the moment as we're a few months away from buying our first house. Annoyingly, our income is well above average yet we can only afford to buy a very average house.
For example, I know I earn more than anyone else in my family, yet we're going to be buying the smallest house out of everyone as they've all owned their houses for years. All the houses I want to buy in our area are £350k+, but I bet the people living in them are only paying about £300 a month for a mortgage. Instead, i'm having to buy a £200k house and pay £800 a month. It seems like there's a whole generation or two who have just got lucky which has led to an easy life, whereas my generation has been shafted.
Apologies if this rubs anyone up the wrong way, that is not my intention, just venting my frustrations.
