• A place to live? No, they'll live in a shared flat or in their parents' house.
• Car? No, you'll go by bus or on foot.
• A cute baby or a cute pet? No, they'll live alone.
• New clothes? No, eating in restaurants? No, they'll be eating cheap supermarket food.
• A holiday? No.
• Money for retirement? No.
