I swear it's impossible to buy a house

With Ben starting a new job this year we've been talking a lot about money things recently. Ben drew up some preliminary calculations (he does enjoy that!) and it was SCARY... we worked out that after bills and rent and food we'd have about £150 left each month- and we hadn't accounted for anything fun or a holiday or saving anything!!!!

How on earth does anyone manage to buy a house?????!!!! 

Everything seems so stacked against first time buyers!! Last night Ben did a search on the rightmove website for houses and flats in a 5-mile radius of Aberdeen. There was NOTHING for less than £170,000!!! Thank goodness Ben has a good job lined up- at least it won't be impossible. I suppose this is what being newly married is all about- it's going to be fun! I think we'll be renting for a couple more years... :)
