Ok, I have an historical perspective, but in the early 70s, when I was a teenager, you left skool/home, got a job or went to university and that was that. I know all the shite about property prices and rents and jobs and and debts and stuff. Poor sods.
BUT, we had some sense of doing it for ourselves. YOu left, branched out, ploughed your own furrow, made clankers, but you were adult. Time to go and do it.
Apart from the economics, which is major, how has the whole mindset changed?
