Actually she is right, particularly for young people. Not everyone is a high earner, or has a rich relative to help them out. I think it is ridiculous to mock her, or put in this ugly twitter
piece for just stating what is a fact of life for a lot of young people.

As ambitions go, getting a mortgage is up there with "having kids" and "getting married." It is just a normal part of life.

And to think that "getting a mortgage" compares with Marc getting a university education and becoming a scientist, is laughable.

Nevermind the mortgage, what really bothered me was when Chloe tried to talk to Marc about an education & Marc would not engage her.
She went into the bedroom & Aisleyne followed her inside & they seemed to be of the opinion that an education is unimportant.
John quickly told them they are being hysterical.

Everyone wants different things. I don't see anything wrong in that.

Then she should respect his education and stop trying to compare her completely normal achievement with his actually quite impressive one.

Honestly, with how things are today, having a mortgage at her age IS a fantastic achievement. Hell even having a job is an achievement.

I have a mortgage Im so happy im special.

Except when I consider that actually all that means is that I owe a faceless bank an amount of money it will take me most of my life to pay off it doesnt seem that special.

It really isn't.

Anyone with a stable job and a deposit can get a mortgage and I doubt she got the deposit herself. I reckon daddy paid for it.

A real achievement is going to college for years and becoming a scientist.

If it's someone's choice I don't see it as quantifiable.

Frightening isn't it. People think that being a debt slave is an achievement.

Exactly.

So let Marc gloat about his education achievement without having a pop at him.

You clearly haven't got my point.

I know people in their 20s who own their houses outright. I know people that age who rent out properties.

Tell them that having a mortgage is an achievement.
