A Tory councillor says he bought a £150,000 home at the age of 21 despite not receiving "a penny" from his family by living frugally with a "puritan mindset".
Max Woodvine saved £800 a month during a six-month job at The Royal British Legion and combined with "minimal savings" he was able buy his property in Oldham, Greater Manchester.
He told other desperate homebuyers they should "go without things they enjoy" for a while and make "sacrifices" if they wanted to get on the ladder.
