I feel for them, especially the younger ones I went through that same shit in my early 20s and it took its toll.
Was there ever a social contract in this country? Just felt like there was more scope of work and housing for our parents but I wouldn’t say they had a “work hard and you’ll get your just rewards” necessarily.

Been there. Came into teaching in 2012 when they cut the starting salary by 10 grand. Finally bought a house this year. It’s a load of bollox and not getting better.
People don’t start having kids until their mid thirties because that’s when you get a bit of stability.

I feel like in the past you could always use the “it’s bad now but it will get better” and there’d be some truth in it for most people, but fuck me I have no idea how anything gets better for younger generations, no employers hold their employees in any high regard, they’ll make all the right noises but if that share prices drops below some number, everyone of them will be make redundant with the stroke of a pen.
Same with housing, there’s no plan to make it any better, the government will make some election promisie of X amount of new houses next year, even that number is nowhere near enough but they won’t even deliver on that number and it’ll just be story 6 on the news one day, forgotten the next.

Can’t help but think kids in the 70s and 80s would be reading this thinking this lot are a bunch of moaners.

What would make a change for the young adults? Maybe start changing politicians and start fighting against NIMBYism.
Rich young adults are finded by the Bank of Mom and Dad, have good education, and possible their own homes as their parents can afford to buy or already have spares in line for them. These are the same young adults who will vote like their parents to keep their distinct advantage.
If we want Ireland to grow and develop as a whole, every Irish citiizen must be given a change to have a prosperous and meaningful life in Ireland. Feudalistic mentality have to stopped or be stopped.

Why didn’t they interview the 30 year olds that have bought houses and are living outside the home?
Misery gets more clicks?
My Mrs works with a lady who is 26 and her and her fiancée moved into their own house 6 weeks ago. So it is and can be done. (Both are on just above the average salary)
