I had a mortgage and two kids. Just had our first grandkid. Now going travelling...

Sorry

And the Guardian ask us pay to read this shite !!

Slow news day?

Person grows up - fuck me that's staggering and insightful

What is this story ? You can travel, recover & pay a mortgage? What is this rag about

Fool

Well done on being a normal human being, congrats to you... news , when are you gunna do actual reporting on actual news... GiletsJaunes for example....

We've all got to grow up sometime!

shocker. people who aren't rich can't afford to travel everywhere while also owning a home and being pregnant. Thanks, news, I had no idea.

More anti-family propaganda. To destroy a nation, destroy the family.

😂 it’s called growing up- we all do it

This should not happen to people in these United States. Every person has a right to go traveling. It should not depend on habits or circumstances. This country is so mean. What are we going to do about it? How about paying for two vacation trips for everyone in America?

And that is regarded as 'news' in the Guardian these days. Ffs

The revolution starts here

I went to the park today and saw some nice ducks. I am willing to write an article for you for the low cost of £50. I look forward to hearing your response. Best wishes. Helena Worthington.

Um, ok 🤷‍♀️

What a pointless article

Whoa, this is crazy! Get this fascinating woman an article in a newspaper/website immediately!

Reporting on the core demographic of your own readers isn't news, Guardian😂

As did 99.99999% of us...?🤷‍♂️

FECK ME This is GROUNDBREAKING NEWS. Yes we’ve all been there, and yes we’ve made SIMILAR SACRIFICES.

And the point is

Is this a slow news day ? Its called growing up and finding that you now have responsibilities other than yourself. Its a bit like people yearning to be a student again. Sorry but its over. Welcome to the world of work .

She says with a £200+ Welsh tapestry blanket from LabourandWait on her bed. choices

Nothing to see here, just life choices. A little known economic principle, “opportunity cost”.

Sounds about white

Mind blowing.

Ok

The real live ®️

Living the life...

She runs a glamping business and teaches yoga. And now she is complaining about not traveling and paying a mortgage. 1st world problems.

Great story, bro

Woman has baby and change her lifestyle. Is this really a story worthy of report? This newspaper has become a vehicle for the snowflake.

I used to like drink kombucha but now like I drink a whole bottle of cheap wine to make these headlines palatable.

N oooooo. ......and she even had to give up her yoga class! !! I seldom use capitals while tweeting but WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? !!! How did everyone become so self-centered ? And then they say that 'individual-oriented' societies are better.

This isn't news worthy though is it? Stop having gossip columns like the other news outlets and start reporting the bloody news!

So she gave up an amazing life of TRAVELING, to get bogged down with a MORTGAGE and is having a baby. So what?

Wow wish a £320 per month mortgage. Tough times eh. My is rent only twice that 😂

Imagine the horror if she didn’t have the opportunity to buy a property & have a mortgage. Literally hundreds of thousands of people will never have that chance.

Im sure mummy and daddy helped 'Poppy' onced she became impregnated by 'Will'. Im sure baby 'Delilah' will have a trust fund set up in her name?

You mean your life changed? Fascinating.

BREAKING NEWS - Woman grows up.

The poor thing.

NOT NEWS

That sucks

Women has life:Game changer

The guardian.... are we serious or just upping the level of trolling

i am so proud of you and a chance to write about it in the Guardian did they pay you it all helps with mortgage and kids

Feature stating the bleeding obvious?

By her own calculations, she has a monthly disposable income of about £1,500. What on earth is stopping her from taking a foreign holiday or a yoga class?

I used to buy just sweets when I was 5 but now I do a weekly shop now I’m 50.

The size of that bedroom will make her depressed...

Wow the poor thing 🙄🙄🙄 Fuск off 🖕🏻🖕🏻

Do you need to become a serf before having or 'affording' a baby? What kind of twisted security is that for a child growing up with stressed out debt laden parent/s? Or just another victim of the Grand Human Resource planning, potential conscription fodder?

Cool story thanks for sharing

It's sad that people make fun of this it technically indicates that if you are from the mid class or lower class family you should give up our on your life when you have a child and putting food on the table would be your only task,hobby & life goal which shouldn't be like that

Life in maturity. Guess some people find it frightening.

Did not hear about the takeover by NOW! Magazine? Well done

This headline does not make me want to read this article. If you start to make people think this is some sort of problem then we really will have a problem.

Sweet attempt at replicating the awesomeness of Refinery29UK Money Diaries

Thats called getting older and changing your priorities and lifestyle to match your responsibilities. It's actually pretty normal believe it or not.

Sounds pretty depressing.

She bought a house AND is having a baby. Groundbreaker, hope others can follow in her trail 😂

Lol how is this a headline, its just growing up and having different responsibilities - most of which you choose for yourself

I’m going to read this article but I’m gonna guess it’s the most white middle class article out there.

👏👏👏🙄

Life eh.

I use to be young and free but then I gew up and gained responsibility. What a sad state of affairs. f

fascinating

The problem is that system Capitalism enemy of the familys and freedom.

THIS is a 'story'!!!!

Urgh, that sounds too sad to even read!

Mortgage: 3 in 4 people not aware what remortgaging means - could you save £4,500 a year?MORTGAGE terms tend to last an average of 25 years. However, new research has shown that more than three in four people are confused by the definition of remortgaging - a statistic which one expert finds to be “worrying”. Please don't re-mortgage without independent financial advise. I know four small business families who have remortgaged and been screwed badly -all paid in excess of $40,000 for the process to the new bank and all were swiftly put on P&I after one year.
