In today’s economy, for someone on an average salary of around £30k, it’s near enough impossible to comfortably afford to move out without a partner. Someone said to me recently it’s the government’s ploy to ensure we all end up with someone and don’t live alone, and honestly I think they’re kind of onto something 🙂🙂 what do we think? Should there be some kind of single person tax?? I know we see it on council tax bills with a 25% discount, but there has to be more to come surely!! It’s such a shame that people can’t have their freedom and move out of their family home because they can’t afford it. Sad sad times for us Gen Z’s. #costofliving #genzoney #movingout #ukfinance
