- Noseshine 10y agoMy comment was pretty short - yet you managed to ignore a major part? Looking at statistics telling you that now both adults in the family have to work to home ownership to private debt levels doesn't support your story. Look at the number of dual-income families, for example.
- notahacker 10y agoIs there any income quartile in any developed country that has less prestigious or lower real incomes per full-time worker than the equivalent in the immediate post war period? Disproportionate rises in house prices and growth in consumer credit and student debt are consequences of a region having access to better employment opportunities, not worse ones.
