Me and my wife have been discussing quite alot recently about saving money for a deposit for our own house as we are currently renting an apartment at £600 PCM due to moving out from my mums.
She thinks we shouldn't bother saving at present due to the way the country and economic climate is and how difficult it is for people to get the required deposit as you talking atleast 20k these days, and we should concentrate more on spending our money on holidays and stuff, as she says we are only 26/27 and have a whole life ahead of us to see the world etc.
I however think we should at least save something towards a house, whether it be £100 a month for the foreseeable future, at least then if the market does pick up we would have a nice decent start.
So my question is, does anyone else have a difference of opinion with there OH when it comes to something like this, if so how do you reach a compromise?
Thanks
