How will we be living?Attitudes towards property ownership are changing. For baby boomers, owning property was evidence of a successful life. Their children and grandchildren aren’t interested in that. For today’s twentysomethings, success is judged by how many likes you have on your social media accounts – success is about adventure and experiences, not assets. With many people priced out of the housing market, they will be renting long-term rather than looking to buy. They’ll take the opportunity to lead a more nomadic lifestyle – travelling more and happy to pack up their lives and accept that job on the other side of the world.
