Have you ever had a nightmare housemate? According to our research, 9/10 young people have.   Which of these bad habits would drive you to save for a place of your own?   🔗Link in comments to find out more.

  • A piece of paper with the question 'Which of these would make you want to move out?' and 10 different answer options in a checklist: leaving dirty dishes in the sink, hogging the bathroom, refusing to empty the bins, not replacing empty loo rolls, borrowing things without asking, playing loud music late at night, leaving all the lights on, skipping chores, using up all the hot water, forgetting to lock the front door.

the worst, of the worst of people. I've shared houses with have not been as bad as the worst #bank I have ever had the misfortune to open an account with. Barclays for no explainable reason #DeBanked me 16 years ago and still every month. They bring harm to me,neither do they think their actions, are a problem. They put their corporate boot on my throat. Barclays kept my #money, invented a #debt, broke all their #contracts with me and still hold me liable. It's outragous if you have any doubts how bad they why not listen to the last phone call with them. #LifeAtBarclays #CustomerExperience https://www.unlikelystory.co.uk/post/not-had-one-of-these-for-a-while

A relatable post for many! The question about saving for a place of your own highlights key financial aspirations for young Canadians. This underscores the need for the Canadian BPO financial services sector to provide excellent, empathetic service to support customers' savings and wealth goals. 🇨🇦 🏦

Interesting insight from Barclays—nightmare housemates are more than just an inconvenience, they’re an economic catalyst. 🚪💸 When 9/10 young people report difficult living situations, it highlights how social dynamics directly shape financial behavior. Saving for independence isn’t only about asset-building, it’s also about investing in stability, privacy, and mental wellbeing. In that sense, the “bad habits” of housemates become a hidden driver of housing demand among younger cohorts.
