      Both my parents have always worked but I had friends as a kid whose dad worked low paid factory jobs, moms didn’t work and they weren’t really struggling. Not like you see today anyway, no food banks or getting evicted, they might have had the tesco no frills crisps.

      It’s crazy. I had many friends where only one person worked and they had two children and all bought or build a house. Now i look at my sister and her boyfriend with two kids. He has a good paying job and she works an okay job. There is no way in hell they could just buy a house
