Currently renting with friends in east London, he is well aware that the average first-time buyer deposit is now more than £57,000 and over double that in the capital.
The time needed to save a deposit leaves his cash at the mercy of rising inflation — yet the investments he has made into a stocks and shares Isa have had a very mixed performance. And how does he square saving for retirement with all of this?
