I'm mid 50s, I don't recall being able to buy a home in my 30s either, at least not in a neighborhood I wanted to live in. I was out in the Denver metro area where it was already getting expensive. I recall articles in the paper complaining about the same shit and one of the reasons I moved back to the midwest was cost of living. Miss the mountains, not the Kalifornians.
I was going to say this...I didn't buy a house until my early 30s and that was with my wife and I pooling all our resources and severely budgetting for the investment for YEARS..on top of student loans. Today that means ditch the Stardouche lattes, the 40 streaming and Only Fan sites you subscribe to, stop spending so much on booze, weed, and eating out, maybe get a more reasonable car than the latest BMW, and be responsible. And maybe they should have studied something that could have lead to an early career or taken up a trade?
Where I am at, I was able to get a house and paid for couple years ago, I am single but I used to live in sitting distance of seattle. I was in King County, rode my bicycle to work at bestbuy and worked two jobs to pay half rent at 1,500 month. f that.
