OMG you sound like someone I know!

So when my kids come to me and say they don’t know how to find 100k deposit for a one bedroom flat, should I give them a substantial dollop of their own financial failings? Will they be expected to listen to their nan as she tells them it was just as hard in her day when she and grandad could only afford their three-bed starter home in Richmond because they were willing to sacrifice going to the cinema?
