Have you ever wondered how long it'd take you to save up enough to buy a dream home?
A new online calculator now explores how long it'd take people working in different professions - from hairdresser to football coach or even news reporter - to earn enough to buy a dream home. The calculator, put together by Victorian Plumbing, reveals that according to new research it would take a hairdresser 266 years in order to buy an idyllic house, Wales Online reports.
The research highlights how the UK housing market is out of reach for many hard working people around the UK - with it often almost impossible to get a foot on the property ladder. A swimming teacher would need to save up for 62 years to afford a Barbie-style dream home on Tyneside, compared to 52 years for a vet and 88 years for a sales assistant.
