Not necessarily. I’m a millennial. My dad bought our family home when I was a baby and was able to support our family of 6 and pay off the mortgage before I finished my GCSEs. We lived off supermarket budget brands, hand me downs and clearance goods, but we never went hungry or cold. We’re ethnic and religious minority. My dad immigrated to the UK when he married my mum and he worked as a bus conductor for most of his life. My parents’ siblings here were all able to get council flats or houses. So I’m able to remember a time where things were a lot better. Never mind buying a house in London, I can’t even afford to rent and there are no council homes. Especially given that the UK is heading back to the racism levels of the 80s again :(
