Good for you. I'm happy you managed but others haven't through absolutely no fault of their own so making out that anyone who hasn't is lazy because 'you get what you give' is ignorant.

My and my boyfriend were saving to buy our first home together, before the pandemic we both worked - I as a home care assistant and he as a bar tender (at slug and lettuce) and in a gym and a side job as a personal trainer. As soon as lockdown hit he had absolutely no work at all, his contract in the bar was gone because it was 0 hours and he couldn't do any personal training so he was massively out of pocket, none of was his fault and he worked 6 - 7 days a week before. He hot a job picking for a supermarket straight away but obviously the wages were incredibly different. How was any of that his fault? What more would you have him do?
