Good Luck.
Almost two million young workers the U.K. have to live their parents because they cannot buy a house or rent a room. Newspapers Britain call them the "clipped wing generation" because they are like birds who have had their wings cut. House prices the U.K. are now so high that many young people cannot afford to buy one. This means a quarter young adults have to live their parents or grandparents. A poll found that 48 per cent the people said the biggest problem was housing costs. Britain has a long history young people moving from the family home when they start working. Rising house prices is now making this more and more difficult to do.
A 32-year-old woman said she has been saving money over ten years to pay the deposit a new apartment. She said it was very difficult because the more she saves, the more house prices go . She is worried the future if she can't buy her own home. She told reporters why she didn't want to leave the family home and rent, saying: "If I move now, the reality is I'll be stuck paying expensive rents the rest my life….The thought that I'm going to be living like a teenager my late 30s or even 40s is really disheartening." A charity homeless people said Britain's government needed to build more homes and sell them a price that is low enough younger people.
