People in their early 30s are half as wealthy as those now in their 40s were at the same age, a report finds.
Today's 30-something generation has missed out on house price increases and better pensions, according to research by the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

Squatters have occupied the former headquarters of a company that specialises in stopping squatting.
The building in Islington, which used to be the HQ of Camelot, has been occupied by protesters sitting-in against London’s lack of affordable housing.
Take a trip down the street where the average house price is £38,000,000
They have also taken issue with Camelot themselves, and are calling the demonstration a ‘Camesquat’.
Camelot, which is no longer based at that building, offers cheap rent for people priced out of the market and low-priced security for companies whose properties are empty.
However, the scheme has been heavily criticised for making guardians live in poor conditions.

A group of squatters have occupied the former headquarters of a company that specialises in securing buildings from unwanted tenants.
The group is squatting in the former Camelot building in protest of the lack of affordable housing and are accusing it of "exploiting" property guardians.
They have not disclosed how they got into the building, but said they did not need to break in.

Conservative MPs have voted against proposed new rules requiring private sector landlords to ensure their properties are fit for human habitation.
A Labour amendment to the government’s housing and planning bill, designed to ensure that all rented accommodation was safe for people to live in, was defeated by 312 votes to 219 on Tuesday, a majority of 93.

There’s an obvious irony to the fact ‘property guardian’ firm Camelot has been occupied by squatters. Emma Bartholomew visited ‘Camesquat’ in Hoxton and spoke to the community that has sprung up behind its doors.

There have been a few ironic chuckles about the occupation of the former Camelot Europe headquarters by a group of squatters.
Camelot provides property guardians, who move into empty buildings to prevent them from being squatted. It is embarrassing for the company that it failed to protect its own former premises from being squatted and doubly embarrassing that this luxury building, in far better shape than many of the buildings they fill with property guardians, has been left empty when it could have provided low-cost, temporary accommodation – complete with tasteful carpets, luxury shower, high-speed Wi-Fi and air conditioning – to several people priced out of the extortionate London rental market.
However, there is a more serious purpose to this occupation. We need to highlight the major housing crisis across the UK, especially in London, and to come up with some sustainable and workable solutions.

Elon Musk outlines Mars colony vision

Media captionElon Musk: Ticket to Mars human colony should be affordable
Entrepreneur Elon Musk has outlined his vision for establishing a human colony on Mars for people that can afford a $200,000 ticket price.
Mr Musk, who founded private spaceflight company SpaceX, was speaking at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Guadalajara, Mexico, on Tuesday.
His colonisation plan uses a fully reusable transportation system that would take 100 people and 80-days to get to Mars and eventually as little as 30-days.
This transportation system consists of a spaceship that is refuelled with methane and oxygen in Earth orbit and also on Mars after landing there.
Mr Musk explained that to achieve the $200,000 price, the entire transportation system has to be reusable.
He spoke of a colony of a million people to make it self-sustaining and that, with his plan, that could take 100 years.
