Ill probably never be able to afford my own home :(

The housing market in the UK is a complete and utter farce, and I'm sick and tired of being screwed over by it. I mean, seriously, what the actual fuck is going on here? I only earn around £18,000 a year and will probably never be able to afford to buy a house. I'll have to live with my parents forever, like some kind of loser. And then I turn the TV on and see doctors and nurses, who are on THREE TIMES my salary, are out striking asking for even more pay whcih will just make inflation worse and make house prices go up even more!!!

Plus, the fact that the Tory government is constantly rigging the housing market to inflate prices doesn't help either. Why? Because they're all rich landowners, that's why. They don't give a shit about people like me who just want a roof over their heads that they can actually afford.

And to top it all off, I don't even drive. Why, you ask? Because I had a creepy-ass driving instructor who made me feel so uncomfortable that I couldn't even concentrate on the road. So now I'm mostly stuck at home, working my arse off to make ends meet, and feeling incredibly lonely. Great.

So here I am, asking all of you out there in internet land, what the hell can I do? I'm getting older and all of this is seriously starting to depress me. I just want to be able to live my life, be fully independent, and not have to worry about never being able to afford my own home.

If anyone has any suggestions for how I can escape this endless cycle of despair, please let me know. Until then, I'll just be over here, working my arse off and feeling like a complete and utter failure. Cheers.

Don't beat yourself up about all this I'm going through the same! The housing market is a total joke. It's like trying to catch a greased pig - impossible!
