30-something man still living with parents ‘because of credit crunch’

37-year-old Scott Mackenzie said plans to move out of his parents’ home had been postponed again due to the ongoing financial crisis. ‘No time for taking risks,’ said the local council worker, who noted that a sacked colleague faced financial ruin because of ‘a relatively short-term’ custodial sentence, ‘any excuse for these ruthless management bastards’.
Despite his father’s offer of a deposit and help moving, Mackenzie said it would worry his mother who is ‘always going on about that Robert Peston’ while doing his ironing, or preparing his packed lunch. ‘If I moved in with a woman it’d be economical’ he mused, ‘but in these uncertain times I can’t even get a bird to come home with me for some reason’.
