Woman left in tears after getting backlash for revealing she bought a house aged 21

An influencer who revealed she owned her own house at the age of 21 was left in floods of tears after receiving a huge backlash online.

In the TikTok, which has been viewed 3.5 million times, Katylee held a champagne bottle with confetti inside.

Captioning the clip, she wrote: "Biggest achievement of my life. Here's to my new chapter."

One person wrote: "So sad the people that work the least get this and people putting their life on the line can barely afford heating."

A second added: "Alright for some."

Meanwhile, a third commented: "Lucky you, here I am paying 2 grand in rent every month because I am not eligible for a mortgage despite working 40 hours a week."

Although these negative comments came from a minority, as most were happy for Katylee, the stinging remarks still hurt the influencer's feelings.

In a follow up video, the teary-eyed TikToker said: "I just wanted to come on here to say that I'm sorry to anyone who feels like I'm bragging about the house thing.

"Yes, the system is absolutely f***ed, I will never get my head around the fact that I've become so lucky.

"But believe or not, as much as some of you guys don't wanna understand this, I do actually work and let me tell you something, social media is so mentally draining."

She continued: "I know there are many people out there who work there a***s off. I genuinely did just fall lucky with social media.

"And yes my family have given me an amazing life. But I didn't get brought up with money, so to be able to achieve such a big thing at 21-years-old, I'm just so grateful.

"It's not me bragging, it's me being so proud of myself. I think if anyone else had the opportunity, they'd do it."

Being 21, Katylee is much younger than the average first time buyer in the UK which is reportedly around 33 years old, up from 32 in previous years.
