These days it’s getting harder and harder to actually buy yourself a house, with the increased pricing it’s nearly impossible to even stand a chance of getting yourself a mortgage. Especially younger people which just began their careers will rarely have the salary to cover the mortgage on a house.

For the singles out there prospect appears to be looking especially down as couples have a better chance on getting their mortgage. As couples do make double the income in the modern relationships which involves both partners having a full-time job or at least part time it doesn’t come with a real surprise either. These days you shouldn’t be surprised with a house costing at least 300.000 Eur, or in case you’d be wanting to live within the city center get that figure easily doubled; with your average yearly salary of 25~30k there’s no way a single salary could cover a mortgage required for that.

So is settling together the only way out? It sure looks like that if you want to stand a slight chance these days on buying your own house, otherwise it looks like renting a place is going to be your only option for now. Or you could of course always strike luck and win the jackpot, that should get your mortgage covered as well.

Have your say

Like many others I'm a slave to modern society dominated by mass media, I can be hooked on the latest series for months without missing a single episode or simply having to see a certain movie.

And if you thought music wouldn't be included there, you're dead wrong! Practically non stop I listen to music from various artists, I just can't stand the silence anymore.
