"For me that's a false comparison. In the 1980s a typical house price was around 3x annual salary now its over 6x (and over 10x in some parts of the country). It is clearly more difficult for first timers to buy evidenced by the fact the average age of first ownership has risen substantially. What matters most to people is what's changing. If you buy a house on X% interest rate and it rises to X% that's a big hit. Buy at XX% and its stay at XX% and your budgeting works. In the last few months worst of all we've see fixed rate mortgages rise while fixed rate savings fall. So the margins are"

It hasn't mentioned a carve out for older people (which may still happen). This is to encourage investing not raise revenue if true its the wrong solution to a real problem for me (I'd work on improving investment education culture and incentives instead).

The most pressing is due to the debate over the last year about cutting cash ISA limit to encourage younger people to invest.

"I'm just leaving the studio after tonight's @itvMLshow. I was nervous before investing is a new subject for the show with hugely diverse range of knowledge interest and risk appetites.
