  "account": "A recent PTSB survey reveals that under 35s in Ireland are increasingly doubtful about ever buying a home, with 52% believing it's impossible. Among this group, 61% are considering social housing and 55% are leaning towards long-term renting. The question is, do you share this perspective? Have the soaring costs and strict market conditions made home ownership an elusive dream for you? What are your housing prospects for the future? Are you leaning towards long-term renting, social housing, or perhaps other arrangements? If you have already stepped onto the property ladder, how did you manage it and did family support play a role? Your firsthand experiences are valuable to us. Respond by adhering to the guidelines: keep your response under 400 words, include a contact number for verification, and choose anonymity if you prefer your identity concealed. Rest assured, your personal information will be handled with confidentiality. Expect a curated selection of responses to be published in an article, though not every submission may be featured.",
