Episode 36: You Live With Your Parents?

Description

This week, we talk rent. In the UK, the minimum cost of living by yourself is anything from £18,000 - £27,000 per year. It's of little surprise that 2 out of 3 single twenty-somethings live with their parents. With multi-generational homes being common in countries around the globe - why do so many British people see it as a bad thing? We find out why the idea of not moving out has become so demonised and its links to immigration in the UK and the USA. Plus, we take a look at some of the ways people have been able to live cheaply in London (and find out how companies stop it from working).
