My daughter worked hard to get her qualifications in childcare and has by local standards a well paid job but couldn't afford a place of her own so so joined a friend living together there is nothing wrong with house Sharing but rents are still going up and she has been told her rent will increase by £200 pcm this April and she's worrying about being able to afford it. Most older people never had the difference between their wage and property costs I've got 5 uncles all in their mid to late fifties and they all say its a lot harder for their kids now. Youth of today also do not have the level of job security many older people had when they started out it's simply not fair to compare the two and certainly not fair to label all 19-24 year old the same.

People will say "your daughter will have to move back in with you" and that's always been available to her but she's been living in her own place by her own rules for three years it's another thing that isn't so simple. We have a class of landlords now charging ridiculous rents so high that people can't pay and save condemning them to a life of private rent something just isn't fair about that let alone allowing those landlords to charge so much they keep people locked into the private rent sector. Our kids are being screwed always and it's heartbreaking to be a parent and not be in the position to help them as we should.

Oh as for the no reason any fit, single and 19 year old might not want to move back home couple for you. 1 came from an abusive home or 2 one of the thousands that come out of kids homes every year sure I could think of more but those were the quick one's.
