The article says its clickbaity but I just dont see it that badly in the examples probided:
>How I bought £205k flat by giving up manicures, cutting back on smoking and ditching luxuries”, we learn that the eponymous luxury-ditcher was also gifted £4,500 from her mum
or
>How we bought a £240,000 three-bedroom house before turning 30”. The article includes everything from Friend-Bartlett’s council tax to the cost of her haircuts. Naturally, it also mentions the £15,000 gift from her and her partner’s parents.
I find it still impressive to buy a flat worth 240k after getting 15k gift.
- shapefrog 5y agoWell down from the 110% mortgages of the pre 2008's 95% loans still plentiful in the UK - only need to put down 12k to buy a 240k property - probably went on holiday with the rest of the money.
