I’m they same. People i grew up with moaning they can’t afford a house and say I must earn good money to afford it. But they also forget I was driving round in a £300 banger what was bought and paid.

Considering I used to just grab a new beanie each winter, then throw the thing away.

But, I guess your Looney lad there can always just buy a three quid one and stick that stupid little label on that, next time he wants a fresh one.

Problem is the youngster now are starting on a unskilled wage at 18 not far off that of blokes in their 60's couple that with the fact they usually stay at home paying peanuts it means their disposable incomes are massive.  Young lads where I work have over £1500 a month in their pockets once they pay house keep buying a stone island coat for a grand is a drop in the ocean to them. 

When I left school on a YTS £25, £10 for house keep, £5 for travelling, £5 for clothes/deodorant used to put a £1 a week up for new tools and £4 for cider on a weekend, wouldnt change it for the world made me realise the value of money.

At 19 i was on a decent wage at the pit but 25pct  of my wages were given to my mother for my board i used to buy Barbour soloway wax proof coats and hunter wellingtons for hunting in though when i got married and got a mortgage and started a family and money was tight it was cheap wax proof coats off the market and pit wellys for hunting in.?
