Itll be tough youngsters getting on the ladder. Plenty will manage it plenty will only do it with bank of mum n dad money. Thus widening the haves/havenots gap

Virtually impossible in London. People way into their thirties, now, pulling down what would once have been considered biggish salaries. Two bedroom flat definitely beyond them, in anything like a decent area. One bedroom flat just about possible, but then if you want have a kid/kids? I'm talking about people I know, here.

No matter what you earn, most people will spend it.

I earn less than the average UK salary but am comfortable mortgage free with no dependants. I don’t need extravagance but can generally afford something new (computer game, trainers) without worrying about it.

It depends on so many factors, age, personal circumstances and lifestyle have such an impact.

I am lucky that I have gone through the tough times and come out of the other side and am now debt free, I have worked out that all of my monthly bills come to just under £700. I allow £1300 a month for everything else so £2k a month sees us through.

I feel for people now when i hear about £1000 a month mortgages and £500 a month car payments.
