    • Buying a home is seen as being a step in the right direction becoming a fully fledged adult in the U.K also, but with the present climate and lack of decent paying jobs it's difficult to make the move. It's scares the living daylights out of me. I understand you buy a house to make a home, but economic downturns sure have an effect on this?

      Then again, China is on the up and up, maybe to consider emigration is the better option?
