sold some seats on ebay.
starts asking if i have pets how long stored etc. yes a cat and only just taken out the car. These are second hand leather seats so expect wear/smells.
he wants me to keep cat away as he suffers from allergies, FFS ask before you buy. Has to be a snowflake generation. I think i will cancel because i just know how it will end.
really? I can understand there being smells and all but I mean the person says he has an allergy, c'mon.starts asking if i have pets how long stored etc. yes a cat and only just taken out the car. These are second hand leather seats so expect wear/smells.

I'm a millenial and get wound up a lot by the stereotypes of my generation, as well as how feckless some of my "peers" can be. I find it quite disappointing that the older generations find it inappropriate for us younger folks to discuss their politics and wars ("you weren't there, you don't know" etc), but are happy to dismiss all of us as a wasted generation.
I have millenial friends who haven't quite worked out their own responsibilities yet. I remember being told I was completely wrong about some political rubbish because people "our" age didn't own houses and it was unfair that he [a student] couldn't afford his own house. He simply got even more angry when I told him that I had bought my own house at 21 because I'd picked the best path for my career.
Similarly I've met many unpleasant older f
kers who think I'm either a drug dealer, have daddy's money, or am someone who needs to fk off home to their oil - simply because I've worked hard in life and have bought an Aston Martin. They're normally the first to say I get paid too much, but when I tell them about my occasional 16-hour days and getting woken up at 4am on a Sunday morning, they want nothing to do with it. 9-5 will do them, they say. Nobody gifts salaries and cars on those who do the bare minimum.
So, the summary? Every generation has tts. I don't bother with the drama and politics - it's hard to care when you're working hard, and it's hard to care when the fruits of your labour result in driving a V8V around Europe for sts and giggles.

Dont worry Labour and their sheep will beat it out of you and steal all your money, working is hard is a bad thing for you but good for them, that means they can take more of your money to pay for your feckless peers that dont have the same drive/ambition/foresight to choose a good industry.I have millenial friends who haven't quite worked out their own responsibilities yet.

Buying at 21 is a good idea. I wish I had. I looked at what I could afford and turned my nose up but you soon see that's how you start and climb the housing ladder.
Yep. I was not able to at 21 having just finished uni, but I was able to at 26 by splitting the cost with my best mate. Then a few years later, the increase in price meant that we then both had enough value increased to put down a deposit on a new house each. I couldn't have bought on my own at 26 either, but I don't have any regrets about buying a place with my best mate, it worked out best for us!

I work in engineering. I bought my house in 2011 when the property market was stagnating somewhat, using some money saved up through a sharesave scheme at work, and with some financial assistance from my parents. The Aston Martin came six years later - I've just turned 27.Also, I'm not affiliated with CarThrottle (well, aside from an article they wrote about me once). I can't quite remember why the URL is in my profile, I suspect I was trying to put a link to my CT profile on here but decided against it.

Well good for you, especially from Engineering, which isn't exactly the highest paid of grad careers. I'm an engineering grad too though I went to the dark side (banking) at about your age. Yes I thought some parental assistance might have been on the cards! Not that that's a bad thing, mine helped me too. Doing this all by yourself, even at 27, is a bit of a tall order for any career path.Also, I'm not affiliated with CarThrottle (well, aside from an article they wrote about me once).

Thanks! I actually joined as an apprentice ten years ago this year, and the company put me through all the education I needed (including my degree). Wasn't much fun working during the day and studying in the evening, but getting a decent salary and having no student loan to pay off was the advantage. I suspect I may have been able to buy without any assistance if I lived somewhere that had a cheaper housing market (I lived in Bristol at the time), but a little help to buy your first house is always well appreciated and somewhat expected these days.I've moved to London with the role and buying a house round here will be an extremely tall order!
