I am always amazed at these people who started doing financially prudent things in their teens and 20’s. How did they know? What was the difference?

Upbringing. My wife is tight as a knat's chuff - gets it from her mother. Won't throw anything away in case it's needed in 30 years time. Uses every tea bag several times, won't throw any food away until it literally crawls out the fridge and opens the back door itself.

My Dad was very financially prudent - drummed pensions etc into me from an early age....

Money is an odd thing, I remember my mother having to put items back in the local Coop as she didn't have enough money to pay for them (nearly 50 years ago).

Stand back everyone! Kirsty Alsopp has the solution. As she usually does.

If young people give up your gym membership and Netflix subscriptions you’ll be able to afford to buy a house at 21. The same age she was when mummy and daddy bought her one, handily located in London zone 1, so she could walk to work at the company mummy owns
