Yes you can be Gen Y and buy property - like everything else it just takes a shift in mindset away from the traditional thinking of owning your own home straight away.

Apparently this article has been doing the circuit of facebook and the media so I thought it would be something good to address.

It appeared on fairfax websites (see full article) last week and then Lucy from Mama Mia wrote a blog about it.

I’m tired of the weekends spent travelling from one underquoted property to the next, only to be left feeling like an idiot when an auction opens above what would have been our final limit.
