There’s no point propping up the property market with borrowing against two wages that aren’t sustainable.

A friend (a British national, astonishingly) did au pairing in London after leaving school for a couple of years. She had a fair few stories to tell afterwards. Suffice it to say, I have very little sympathy with anyone ‘struggling’ because they’re no longer able to exploit European teenagers while they go about insisting that starting a family never really changed them.
