Who the hell can afford to buy now anyway
that isn't already on the ladder, I mean. It's all gone stupid.

A few generations and it'll be 95% renting off the other 5.

er, it sounds counterintuitive but even though prices are at an all-time high
Mortgages are extremely affordable and you can get by with a 5% deposit.

It's actually pretty easy going as an FTB right now.

The deposit isn't the issue, it's the prices now.
Unless there's two of you on high salaries in safe jobs and nothing happens like, for example, one of you drops to part time to raise a child or unexpectedly gives up work to care for a relative, you'll probably both retire and die having still not paid it off.
