Can skipping a Greggs breakfast really help you get on the housing ladder? An estate agent has prompted a row after saying saving £5 a day could help people get a deposit for a house.
There are few things likely to generate a social media storm than people being told they could afford a home if only they spent their money different. And West Midlands estate agents DM & Co. Homes have found this out.
MirrorOnline reports that the estate agents caused a stir on TikTok after saying that people who purchase a Greggs breakfast every morning could have saved just under £10,000 for a house deposit instead. Many people questioned whether such a post was helpful.
