  • Could unfaithfulness be caused by genetics?

    Could unfaithfulness be caused by genetics?
    Oct 21 2026
    No one's proud of being unfaithful, but what if some people’s cheating was actually caused by genetics, rather than selfishness? That might sound like a convenient excuse, but actually there could be some scientific basis behind it. In 2022 researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia analysed the DNA of over 7,300 twins aged between 18 and 49, all of whom had been in relationships for several years. What were the study’s results then? Are some people simply programmed to cheat then?

  • Is it still possible for young people in the UK to become homeowners?

    Is it still possible for young people in the UK to become homeowners?
    Oct 20 2026
    In the UK, owning a home is still seen as a key sign of financial stability. For many, it means security against life’s uncertainties - job loss, illness, or income drops and a way to build long-term wealth instead of paying rent. Today, according to the comparison site Finder the average age of a first-time buyer is just under 34. In London, it’s closer to 35. That’s several years older than in the 1990s, when most first-time buyers were in their late twenties. So why has it become so complicated to buy now? What about young people specifically? So, is it still possible for young people in the UK to become homeowners? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
