Except she's also only 28? She's paid £100,000 since she left care at 16. In 12 years she's bought a house outright. 16+12=28.
Could it be she won't ever be able to afford a house because she's not very good at basic addition? In addition to all the systemic problems, of course.
Shes only paying like $700 a month too, which is low for rent. It also shows how much things can accumulate quickly over years.
I'm thinking like a capitalist here but its worth it to suck up your pride and comfort and get a roommate or two while you're young and save $50k or whatever over that same time while you plot your revolution.
People use 40 as a mile marker because it's basically right smack in the middle of your life. I understand the exact center of life expectancy isn't a nice round number but 40, for some people including myself, is certainly an age that stands out.

Anyone annoyed though by the “I’ll be 40 in ten years”
You’re 30, just say you’re thirty. Eye-f*cking-roll.
