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

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.
some of them are likely to happen with changing environment like location
